s&#39;: --047d7b10c893fb297704f6e9b40e 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 11-18* On Monday, April 14, a *total lunar eclipse* happens very late at night, being total 4:07-5:24 a.m.(Tuesday ) Meanwhile *Mars *shines near the Moon all night on Monday night, and Mars is at its closest to Earth that night. And in addition, *Spica *shines much closer to the Moon than Mars does. On Tuesday night, April 15, look east for the lineup of *Mars, Spica, and the just-past-full Moon*, in that order from top down. On Tuesday, April15, the *Moon *will enter its Full Phase meaning we will see it all night. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides. *Jupiter *shines right under the big Arch of Spring this year. The Arch spans much of the western sky. *Pollux and Castor* form its top. To their lower left is one end of the Arch, *Procyon*, and farther to their lower right is the other end, *Capella*. * Vega*, the "Summer Star" is now sparkling low in the northeast at nightfall. By dawn its high overhead. On Saturday, April 12, the *sun *rose at 6:39 a.m. and will set at 8:02 p.m. giving 13 hours 23 minutes of daylight hours. On Saturday, April 19, the sun will rise at 6:26 a.m. and set at 8:12 p.m. to give 13 hours 45 minutes of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick). *This Week's Planet Roundup * *Mercury *is hidden deep in the glow of sunrise. *Venus *(magnitude -4.3) is the bright "Morning Star" shining in the east-southeast during early dawn. *Mars *this week is at its nearest to the earth in six years blazing at magnitude -1.5. It glares low in the east-southeast in twilight, and dominates the southeast after dark. Fainter Spica shines from 8=B0 to 10=B0 below it during evening. They're highest in the south around 1 a.m. *Jupiter *(magnitude -2.1) shines even brighter than Mars, in the high southwest in twilight. It sinks westward through the evening and sets around 3 a.m. *Saturn *(magnitude +0.2) rises around 10 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.
