*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*May 9 - 17*

Jupiter shines within the western *Arch of Spring* as twilight fades. The
top of the Arch is formed by *Pollux and Castor*, roughly horizontal. To
their lower left is Procyon, the left end of the Arch. The right end is
formed by *Menkalinen *and then *Capella*. Jupiter is gradually moving
toward the Arch's upper left side.

On Wednesday, May 14, the *Moon *will go into its Full Phase meaning we
will see it all night. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides.

*Arcturus *shines high in the southeast these evenings. *Vega *shines much
lower in the northeast.

On Saturday, May 10, the *sun *rose at 5:53 a.m. and will set at 8:39 p.m.
giving 14 hours 45 minutes of daylight hours.  On Saturday, May 17, the sun
will rise at 5:45a.m. and set at 8:47 p.m. to give 15 hours 2 minutes of
daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick).

*This Week's Planet Roundup *

*Mercury *(about magnitude -1.0) is emerging into better view in evening
twilight every day. Look for it low in the west-northwest, very far to the
lower right of bright Jupiter, about 40 to 60 minutes after sundown.

*Venus *(magnitude -4.1) is the bright "Morning Star" low due east during
dawn.

*Mars *(magnitude -1.0) shines highest in the south shortly after dark. Far
lower left of Mars sparkles *Spica*.

*Jupiter *(magnitude -2.0) shines high in the west in twilight, under
Pollux and Castor. It sinks during the evening and sets around 1:00 a.m.

*Saturn *(magnitude +0.1) is at opposition May 10th. It rises around
sunset, shines in the southeast during evening, and stands highest in the
south around 1 a.m. Look for Antares to its lower left.
