Jupiter and Mercury will set together in the west this week, marking a change in our evening sky. As Jupiter descends, it will be harder to view due to its proximity to the sun, while Mercury continues to climb higher.
By the end of the week, Jupiter will have set almost an hour before sunset, making it difficult to observe. However, Mercury will remain visible for nearly 90 minutes after sunset. The best viewing times for Mercury are during the darkening sky, when it is still low in the western horizon.
With Jupiter gone from our evening sky, only Mercury and Mars remain. Mars will be high overhead, approaching the bright star Regulus as it enters the constellation Leo.
Look for the nearly full moon on June 9th in the south-eastern sky, accompanied by the bright star Antares in Scorpius. This pair will be visible throughout the night, moving closer together before setting in the west.
In the morning sky, Venus shines brightly, but is now beginning to descend as it rounds its orbit around the sun. Saturn is higher and more southerly than Venus, with fewer bright stars visible.
Keep an eye out for Mercury as it moves into better viewing positions, and enjoy the spectacle of Mars approaching Regulus. With these celestial events, you’re bound to see something amazing in the sky this week!
