July 2022
This Month’s Sky
The spectacular predawn planet show continues into the first week of July, featuring the five visible planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (Illustration 1). After the first week, Mercury drops from the line-up and Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn span from the eastern sky through the south (Illustration 2).
Also, with the opening of Milky Way season, this happens to be the best time of year to lay out on a warm summer night, with binoculars, and leisurely scan through the night sky! The summer Milky Way offers great views of many celestial delights! We have so much to see tonight, are you ready?! Once again, our hike will begin around 10:00pm. Don’t forget your Starry Trail Map, bug spray, light jacket, binoculars and lawn chair or blanket.
We will begin our hike by facing west or the fading colors of the sunset.
