--047d7bea2e46f74c9504d92a45c2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Courtesy of Nelson Poirier: *This Week's Sky at a Glance* *Some night sky sights for March 29 =96 April 6* This is the time of year when the dim *Little Dipper* juts to the right from *Polaris *(the Little Dipper's handle-end) during evening hours. The *= Big Dipper*, much brighter, curls over high above it, =91dumping water=92 into = it. On Wednesday April 3, the *M* *oon *will enter its Last-quarter Phase meaning it will not rise until midnight and set at noon. Look for *Arcturus*, the =91Spring Star=92, low in the east-northeast in twilight and higher in the east after dark. On Saturday, March 30, the *S* *un *rose at 7:01 a.m. and will set at 7:44 p.m. giving 12 hours 42minutes of daylight hours. On Saturday, April 6, the sun will rise at 6:48 a.m. and set at 7:54 p.m. to give 13 hours 5 minutes of daylight hours ( t hese values are for Moncton, New Brunswick). *This Week's Planet Roundup* *Mercury* (magnitude +0.2) is having a poor apparition very low in the dawn. Look for it just above the east-southeast horizon about 30 minutes before sunrise. *Venus* and *Mars* remain hidden in the glare of the Sun. *Jupiter* (magnitude =962.1) comes into view high in the west after sunset, and then descends as night grows late. Lower left of Jupiter is fainter orange Aldebaran. They set in the west-northwest around the middle of the night. *Saturn* (magnitude +0.2) rises in the east-southeast only about a half hour after the end of twilight now. Watch for it to make its appearance well to the lower left of *Spica*, and farther to the lower right of brighter *Arcturus*. Saturn shines highest in the south around 3 a.m. Blake's NASA photo pick of the week: *Waterfalls, Auroras, Comet: Iceland <http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130326.html> * *http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130326.html * --=20 Blake Maybank <bmaybank@gmail.com> White's Lake, Nova Scotia My Blog: *CSI: Life* <http://blakemaybank.com> My Photos: *Fine Art America*<http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/blake-maybank.html> Organiser, *Maritimes Nature Travel Club* <http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel> ** <http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel>** --047d7bea2e46f74c9504d92a45c2 Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><font size=3D"4">Courtesy of Nelson Poirier:<br></font><br><font size=3D"4"> </font><p class=3D"" style=3D"margin:7.5pt 0in 3.75pt;line-height:normal"><= font size=3D"6"><span style=3D"font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><b><span styl= e=3D"color:rgb(51,85,153)">This Week's Sky at a Glance</span></b></span= ></font></p> <span style=3D"font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font size=3D"4"> </font></span><p class=3D"" style=3D"margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15.= 6pt"><span style=3D"font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font size=3D"4"><i><spa= n style=3D"color:black">Some night sky sights for March 29 =96 April 6</span></i><span style=3D"color:black"> <br></span>= </font></span></p><span style=3D"font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font size= =3D"4"> </font></span><p class=3D"" style=3D"margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15.= 6pt"><span style=3D"font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font size=3D"4"><span s= tyle=3D"color:black">This is the time of year when the dim <span style=3D"c= olor:rgb(153,0,255)"><b>Little Dipper</b></span> juts to the right from <span style=3D"color:rgb(153,0,255)"><b>Polaris </b></span>(the Little= Dipper's handle-end) during evening hours.
