The Sky This Week The Sky This Week, 2013 June 11 - 18

The Moon waxes in the evening sky this week, starting as a thin
crescent in the southwestern sky and ending the week in a gibbous
phase. First Quarter occurs on the 16th at 1:24 pm Eastern Daylight
Time. Look for the bright star Regulus about seven degrees northwest
of the Moon on the evening of the 14th. On the 18th Luna may be found
just three degrees east of the bright star Spica.
As surely as day follows night summer will follow spring. This
weekmarks the first milestone in the phenomena surrounding the summer
solstice. Thanks to Earth's ellipticalorbit and our penchant for
keeping atomic time we will experience the year's earliest sunrise on
the morning of June 14th. The year's latest sunset will occur on the
28th. Sandwiched in between these dates is the solstice itself on the
21st, when the Sun reaches its northernmost point in the sky and we
experience the year's longest duration of daylight. These same
phenomena occur around the time ofthe winter solstice as well, but
withmore pronounced effects.
When we last looked at the early evening sky two weeks ago we
werefollowing the movements of three planets in the western twilight.
Nowthere are only two. Bright Venus is the easiest one to spot,
becoming visible shortly after sunset. Half anhour after sunset she
should be very prominent about 10 degrees above the horizon. If you
have binoculars look just a few degrees above and to the left of Venus
to spot elusive Mercury. Once you've spotted him in binoculars you
shouldbe able to find him with the naked eye. Over the course of the
week both planets will appear to stay "in formation", but by the
week's end Mercury will begin to fade and starta quick plunge back
toward the Sun.The third planet in the trio, Jupiter, is now lost in
the glare of the Sun. He'll pass behind Old Sol next week and enter
the morning sky.
By the end of evening twilight the warm yellow glow of Saturn stands
on the meridian in the southern sky.The ringed planet doesn't have the
dazzle of Venus or the constantly-changing cloud belts of Jupiter,
buthe does have the solar system's most amazing set of planetary
rings. Thanks to the Voyager space probes we now know that all of the
so-called "gas giant" planets sport these interesting appendages, but
Saturn has the only set that can be routinely glimpsed with just a bit
of optical aid. They are made up of billions of chunks of water ice,
eachin its own orbit around the planet's hulking disc. Close-up images
from the Cassini orbiter show amazing dynamics in the ring structure
caused by gravitational effects from small embedded moonlets, and
amateur telescopes will show a prominent dark band on nights of steady
seeing. Known as Cassini's Division, this band is a mostly-empty gap
in the rings caused by a gravitational resonance with Saturn's four
innermost larger moons. To get a sense of scale when you see the
Division through atelescope, consider that the width of the gap is
about the same as thediameter of the Earth!
