*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*Some night sky sights for July 12 - 20*

On Monday, July 15, the *moon *will go into its First-quarter Phase meaning
it will rise at noon and set at midnight. Look quite close to the Moon for =
*
Spica*. *Saturn *glows off to their upper left. Think photo opportunity.

On Saturday, July 13, the sun rose at 5:41 a.m. and will set at 9:08 p.m.
giving 15 hours 27 minutes of daylight hours.  On Saturday, July 20, the
sun will rise at 5:48 a.m. and set at 9:03 p.m. to give 15 hours 14 minutes
of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick).

*This Week's Planet Roundup*

*Mercury *is hidden in the glow of sunrise.

*Venus *(magnitude -3.9) shines brightly low in the west-northwest in
evening twilight.  But for the rest of the year, watch it grow in size and
wane in phase until becoming a long, ultra-thin crescent.

*Mars *and *Jupiter *are low in the east-northeast during early dawn.
Jupiter is far and away the brightest at magnitude -1.9. Look just upper
right of it for Mars, magnitude +1.6. Binoculars help. Jupiter is drawing
closer to Mars daily. They'll pass just 3/4=B0 apart on the morning of July
22nd.

*Saturn *(magnitude +0.6) glows in the southwest after dusk, with Spica 12=
=B0
to its lower right.
