The sky features the full Strawberry Moon on Saturday, while Venus, Mars, Saturn and eventually Jupiter are visible during the month.
Late spring gives way to summer in June, bringing mild nights to explore the starry sky. Unfortunately, these are the shortest nights of the year, but, if you’re an avid sky-watcher, sleep is overrated.A bright moon greets sky-watchers as June begins, with a big orb skirting the southern horizon during the month’s first weekend. The moon is full at 7:39 a.m. Eastern time on Saturday.
Nautical twilight is the time when discerning the horizon at sea becomes difficult, and it occurs when the center of the sun’s disk is 12 degrees below the horizon. From a dark site, it doesn’t take too much imagination to see a stick figure resembling a bear, save for its preposterously long tail made up by the stars in the Dipper’s “handle.” Preposterous or not, you can follow the arc of the handle to Arcturus, the brightest star in the northern half of the sky. Arcturus is a giant star in the constellation of Boötes, the Herdsman, which looks to me more like a kite than a person.
