Saturn will make its closest approach of the year and will be reflecting plenty of the sun’s light, making this the best opportunity to spot it. A medium telescope (about 5-8 inches) is needed to see the rings and some of the largest moons which will also be lit up from the sun.
The International Space Station reaches maximum brightness on June 1, with multiple passes each evening (favoring those in the northern hemisphere.) Follow the link on this calendar entry to find out when and where to look for your location.
