This Month’s Sky 

Watching the two brightest planets during June will be such a treat! They will be eight degrees apart on June 1, with Jupiter above Venus. Then side by side on June 7. Followed by the close conjunction, with the dazzling duo less than two degrees apart, on June 9. Venus is now above Jupiter. Both planets set around 11:30 pm, so there is plenty of time to enjoy the show. Venus will continue to climb higher while Jupiter continues to drop lower and fade in evening twilight by month’s end. Other highlights for the brilliant planets include the slender crescent Moon joining the pair on June 16 and June 17 and Jupiter forming a straight line with the bright stars Castor and Pollux on June 24.  Also, we celebrate the Summer Solstice on June 21!
