*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*Some night sky sights for July 19 - 27*

Twinkling *Regulus *is now 1=BC=B0 below Venus at dusk.

On Monday, July 22 the *moon *will go into its Full Phase meaning we will
see it all night. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides. Petitcodiac
River tidal bore expected to be high Tuesday to Thursday.

Look northwest after dark for the *Big Dipper*, hanging diagonally. Its
handle is on the upper left. Follow the curve of the handle on around
leftward, for a little more than a Dipper-length, to land on bright *Arctur=
us
*in the west.

The two brightest stars of summer evenings are *Arcturus *in the west now
and *Vega *nearly overhead. They're 37 and 25 light-years away,
respectively.

On Saturday, July 20, the *sun *rose at 5:48 a.m. and will set at 9:03 p.m.
giving 15 hours 14 minutes of daylight hours.  On Saturday, July 27, the
sun will rise at 5:56a.m. and set at 8:55 p.m. to give 14 hours 59 minutes
of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick).

*This Week's Planet Roundup*

*Mercury *is deep in the glare of sunrise, far below Jupiter. But every day
now it's becoming a little less faint and low.

*Venus *(magnitude -3.9) shines brightly low in the west-northwest during
evening twilight.

*Mars *and *Jupiter *are low in the east-northeast during early dawn.
Jupiter is by far the brightest at magnitude -1.9. Binoculars help with
finding Mars, magnitude +1.6, right close by. Jupiter and Mars pass just
3/4=B0 from each other on the morning of July 22nd.

*Saturn *(magnitude +0.6) glows in the southwest after dusk, with *Spica *1=
2=B0
to its lower right.
