This week’s night skies feature a dramatic approach of Venus and Jupiter, visible in the west at nightfall, narrowing from 11° on May 29 to just 1.6° at conjunction on June 9. Mercury appears in the lower right but will soon fade. Vega shines brightly in the east, marking the top of the Summer Triangle, with Deneb and Altair completing the shape and the Milky Way subtly rising beneath. Highlights include a minimoon on May 30 near Antares, glimpses of variable Beta Lyrae, the Keystone of Hercules with M13, and the gradual return of the rich Milky Way stretch late at night. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-may-29-june-7/
