It's about as high as bright Arcturus, shining to its left in the west. On Tuesday, August 6, the *moon *will go into its New Phase meaning we will not see it at all during the night. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides. On Saturday, August 3 the *sun *rose at 6:04 a.m. and will set at 8:46 p.m. giving 14 hours 41 minutes of daylight hours. On Saturday, August 10, the sun will rise at 6:13 a.m. and set at 8:36 p.m. to give 14 hours 23 minutes of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick).

Look for faint *Mars *(magnitude +1.6) to Jupiter's lower left. Look lower left of Mars as dawn begins to brighten for *Mercury* (brightening from magnitude 0 to -1 this week, but sinking lower). *Venus *(magnitude -3.9) shines brightly very low in the west in evening twilight. *Saturn *(magnitude +0.7) glows in the southwest as twilight fades, with *S= pica *12=B0 to its lower right. The rings around Saturn are readily seen with a birding scope on a clear night.
