The Night Sky
Friday, June 14 · The waxing crescent Moon hangs to the lower left of Regulus and the Sickle of Leo this evening. · With the solstice a week away, have you been watching the sunset point on your horizon day by day? See the June Sky & Telescope, page 50, for more on watching the reality of the solstice.
Saturday, June 15 · Mercury is drawing closer to Venus as it fades in the twilight, as shown at right. They're 3.3° apart now and will be 2° from each other at their closest on the 19th.
Sunday, June 16 · First-quarter Moon (exact at 1:24 p.m. EDT). The Moon shines under the dim head of Virgo. Monday, June 17 · The Moon this evening forms the end of a curving line with Spica and Saturn, counting to the Moon's left. Look below the Moon for the four-star figure of Corvus.
