*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*Some Night Sky Sights for July 26 - August 3*

The *Delta Aquariid meteor shower* should be in its broad maximum all week.
This and other weak, long-lasting July showers with radiants in the
southern sky increase the chance that any meteor you see will be flying out
of the south.

On Monday, July 29, the *moon *will go into its Last-quarter Phase meaning
it will rise at midnight and set at noon.

Bright *Vega *shines nearly overhead these evenings. Look southeast for *
Altair*, almost as bright.

As summer begins to wane, the *Big Dipper* hangs diagonally on the wall of
the northwestern sky during evening. It's about as high as bright *Arcturus=
*,
shining left of it in the west.

On Saturday, July 27, the *sun *rose at 5:56 a.m. and will set at 8:55 p.m.
giving 14 hours 59 minutes of daylight hours.  On Saturday, August 3, the
sun will rise at 6:04 a.m. and set at 8:46 p.m. to give 14 hours 41 minutes
of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick).

*This Week's Planet Roundup*

*Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter* shine low in the east-northeast during
dawn. *Jupiter
*is the highest and brightest (magnitude -1.9). Look for faint *Mars
*(magnitude
+1.6) a little to Jupiter's lower left. Look below them, and perhaps a bit
left, for *Mercury*, which brightens from magnitude +1 to 0 this week. Best
time: about 60 to 40 minutes before your local sunrise. Binoculars will
help with the fainter two planets.

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

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