Venus at its Highest (Again)
Jun 3 all-day

Venus will be at its “greatest western elongation”. This is a great time to view Venus since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the morning sky. Look for the enormously bright thing in the western sky before sunrise.

Saturn at Opposition
Jun 15 all-day

Saturn rules the summer sky, but on this night, the ringed planet truly takes center stage. When it reaches opposition, Saturn will be bright and fully illuminated by the Sun. You may even notice that its rings look brighter than usual thanks to a phenomenon known as the Seeliger Effect. Take it all in! Saturn’s rings will be visible in even small aperture telescopes.

A medium-sized or larger telescope will allow you to see Saturn’s rings and a few of its brightest moons.

Summer Solstice
Jun 20 @ 10:24 pm – 11:24 pm

In the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year when the Sun is farthest north. The summer solstice marks the first day of the season of summer. In the southern hemisphere, this is your winter solstice, marking the shortest day of the year. The declination of the Sun on the (northern) summer solstice is known as the tropic of cancer (23° 27′).
