--047d7b86f76a06fe1004f64963dc Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable *Courtesy of Nelson Poirier:* *This Week's Sky at a Glance* *April 4 - 12* After dark this week, look southeast to spot bright *Mars *shining above lesser Spica. Mars is at opposition this week! Look far left from them to find *Arcturus*, the "Spring Star," in the east. All week look above Jupiter for *Pollux and Castor*, look left of it for *Procyon*, and farther right of it for *Capella*. Way down below it is *Betelgeuse*, the top corner of Orion. On Monday, April 7 the *Moon *goes into its First-quarter Phase meaning it will rise at noon and set at midnight. On Saturday, April 5, the *sun *rose at 6:52 a.m. and will set at 7:53 p.m. giving 13 hours 01 minutes of daylight hours. On Saturday, April 12, the sun will rise at 6:39 a.m. and set at 8:02 p.m. to give 13 hours 23 minute of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick). The days are getting longer, birds are getting brighter plumage, and males are getting more vocal with lots and lots of migrant arrivals. *This Week's Planet Roundup * *Mercury *is deep in the glow of sunrise. *Venus *(magnitude -4.4) is the bright "Morning Star" shining in the east-southeast during early dawn. *Mars*, blazing at magnitude -1.5, comes to opposition this week- its closest opposition since December 2007. It rises around sunset and dominates the southeast after dark. Fainter *Spica *shines about 7=B0 below it during evening. They're highest in the south around 2 a.m. *Jupiter *(magnitude -2.2) dominates the high southwest in twilight. It sinks westward through the evening and sets around 3 a.m. *Saturn *(magnitude +0.2) rises around 11 p.m. and is highest in the south around 4 a.m. By then it's far left of Mars, and half as far to the upper right of Antares.
