The Night Sky for the Week of 7-28-24

It's currently the best time to spot the constellation Scorpius in the evening sky, especially during July. Look for the bright stars and the red supergiant Antares. Additionally, you can find the "Cat's Eyes" stars, Shaula and Lesath, and the open star clusters M7 and M6 if you observe the tail of Scorpius using binoculars. If you're interested in stargazing, remember to look for the constellation Ophiuchus on the following day and the W-shaped Cassiopeia and the Great Square of Pegasus in the nights to come. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-july-26-august-3-2/
