June is the start of meteorological summer, which is a great time to be outside for some stargazing. Here are some celestial events to give you a reason to look up.
June’s stargazing lineup includes the chance to see most of our solar system’s planets and, toward the end of the month, the full Strawberry Moon. Here are some celestial events that will give you a reason to step outside and look up.On June 20, the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, officially begins astrological summer for those in the Northern Hemisphere. On June 21, the full Strawberry Moon will grace the sky, rising at peak illumination just after 9 p.m. ET.
The planet parade you've likely been hearing about happens on June 3, when Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune and Saturn will line up in the morning sky for those in the Northern Hemisphere. Astronomers call this a conjunction – when planets come close together in the night sky. The Sky Tonight App has been hyping this event as a six-planet parade. However, viewing all six planets presents challenges.
