This week, July 3–12, the night sky offers brilliant views of Venus and its conjunction with Regulus, with Mars appearing in the early dawn near Aldebaran and the Pleiades, and a rare close pairing with Uranus on July 4. Globular clusters M13 and M92 in Hercules are prime evening targets, while M4 near Antares showcases a looser structure. The Summer Triangle dominates the eastern sky, and the Milky Way arches brightly for those in dark locations. Saturn rises late at night with its rings tilted 9°, and the Moon transitions from last quarter to a waning crescent, creating striking early-morning alignments with Mars and Aldebaran. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-july-3-12/
