WHAT TO SEE IN JUNE’S NIGHT SKY

You can see all five bright planets emerge this month. Brilliant Venus enjoys a close conjunction with Jupiter on the 9th, with Mercury not far away. Saturn rises about 2:30 a.m. local time at mid-month. Mars climbs slowly and low in the east before sunrise and joins the Moon and Pleiades on the 13th. North American observers can see the Moon pass in front of Venus in the daylight sky on the 17th – a moderately spectacular event! And a Strawberry ‘Mini Moon’ arrives as June winds down.
