From June 12–21, the evening sky showcases Venus and Jupiter in twilight, initially 3.5° apart and gradually separating, with Mercury fading below. The thin crescent Moon appears midweek, joining the planetary lineup and culminating in a visible daytime occultation of Venus on June 17. The Spring Triangle (Arcturus, Spica, Denebola) dominates, while the Milky Way reemerges in the east at night. Saturn and faint Mars rise before dawn, as Uranus and Neptune remain hidden. The summer solstice arrives on June 21 with the Sun at its northernmost point and the first-quarter Moon highlighting Tranquillitatis and Serenitatis. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-june-12-21/
