This week’s sky highlights feature a dazzling conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in the western twilight. Starting June 5, the planets are 4° apart, tightening to 1.65° on June 9 before separating again by midweek, with Mercury lingering 14° lower right. Evenings showcase bright Arcturus and Vega with views of constellations such as Hercules, Corona Borealis, and Lyra’s Double-Double. The Big Dipper hangs down in the northwest, while the Summer Milky Way begins rising in the east. Morning skies offer Saturn and faint Mars in the dawn, with the Moon guiding the view. Observers can use binoculars and telescopes to view star clusters and planetary details. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-june-5-14/
