From June 19–28, evening skies feature a waxing crescent to gibbous Moon passing Regulus, Spica, and Antares, with Lyra and Vega high in the east. The summer solstice occurs on June 21, marking the Sun’s highest arc and shortest shadows for the Northern Hemisphere. Venus and Jupiter dominate the western twilight, drifting 10° to 16° apart; Mercury sinks lower and fades, while Saturn rises after 1 a.m. with Mars low in the dawn. Observers can enjoy seasonal constellations like Leo and Scorpius, Arcturus and Vega overhead, and the eclipsing binary Beta Lyrae near Vega. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-june-19-28/
