June 2023 Skywatching Tips

June 5, 2023

What are some skywatching highlights in June 2023? Mars and Venus draw closer throughout the month, while Saturn leads Jupiter into the morning sky. Bright stars Spica and Arcturus shine brightly overhead on June evenings, along with the Summer Triangle. And the June solstice, on the 21st, has a special claim to fame. Notice the stars of the Summer Triangle – Vega, Deneb, and Altair – rising in the east in the couple of hours after dark. They rise earlier each month throughout the summer. Additional information about topics covered in this episode of What's Up, along with still images from the video, and the video transcript, are available at What's Up: Skywatching Tips from NASA.
