June 8-9 Venus and Jupiter will appear remarkably close together in the western sky after sunset, creating a spectacular naked-eye view and an easy astrophotography target. A few days later, Mercury joins the scene for a mini planet parade.

Capture the conjunction with a landscape foreground or zoom in with binoculars, a telescope, or a telephoto lens.

The Daytime Arietids peak around June 7–8. Because the radiant lies close to the Sun, most meteors occur during daylight and are invisible, but dedicated observers may catch a few long “Earth-grazer” meteors just before dawn.

Observer Tip
* Watch the eastern horizon about 60–90 minutes before sunrise.
* Expect low visual rates, but any meteors seen can be spectacular.

For much of the spring at mid-northern latitudes, the Milky Way lies right down out of sight all around the horizon in the evening. But look east now. The rich Cepheus-Cygnus-Aquila stretch of the Milky Way is rising up all across the east late these nights, earlier and higher every week.

This could give future missions to Europa and Enceladus a powerful way to distinguish biological signatures from purely chemical processes. The next decade of icy moon exploration may completely reshape our understanding of where life can exist in the Solar System. 🚀❄️

Diversity theory measures how species are distributed across ecosystems. Scientists think the same math can decode whether the molecules on icy moons like Europa and Enceladus came from life or chemistry.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has already discovered 11,000 new asteroids before its main survey has even begun.

For amateur astronomers and astrophotographers, that’s exciting news: more asteroids, more occultations, more transient events, and more opportunities to capture something few people have ever seen.

The next decade is going to deliver an explosion of new targets. The challenge won’t be finding something to image—it’ll be finding the right night to do it.
