*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*Some night sky sights for September 13 - 21*

*Saturn* has closed to within 6=B0 of Venus low in the western twilight as =
of
Friday. They'll pass 3=BD=B0 apart on Wednesday and Thursday.

Look for bright *Vega *close to the zenith as twilight fades away.

This is the time of year when, as the stars come out, bright *Arcturus *shi=
nes
due west at the same height as the *Big Dipper *hangs in the northwest.

On Thursday, September 19 the *moon *will go into its Full Phase meaning we
will see it all night. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides

As summer nears its end, orange *Antares *blinks its bleary seasonal
farewell low in the southwest at nightfall. Look for it twinkling well to
the left of Venus and Saturn and perhaps a bit higher.

*Saturday, September 21 is the last full day of summer in the Northern
Hemisphere. *

On Saturday, September 14 the *sun *rose at 6:56 a.m. and will set at 7:34
p.m. giving 12 hours 38 minutes of daylight hours.  On Saturday, September
21 the sun will rise at 7:05 a.m. and set at 7:20 p.m. to give 12 hours 16
minutes of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick).

*This Week's Planet Roundup *

*Mercury *remains very deep in the glare of sunset.

*Venus and Saturn* (magnitudes -4.1 and +0.7, respectively) are low in the
west-southwest in evening twilight, far lower left of Arcturus. They set
right after dusk.

*Venus* is the brightest but lowest. Saturn slides from Venus's upper left
at the beginning of the week to its right or upper right by week's end.

*Mars *(magnitude 1.6) rises around 4 a.m. and glows due east as dawn
begins. Look for it far lower left of bright Jupiter.

*Jupiter *(magnitude -2.1) rises around 2 a.m. and blazes high in the
east-southeast by dawn.
