7 Must-see Astro Events in the Night Sky You Won't Want to Miss This June
Celestial meetups abound in the night sky this month, from eye-popping planet pairings to a crossing of the moon and Mars. Even better: you can view many of June's best sky sights from a city or the suburbs. Of course, traveling to a dark-sky destination, such as a national park, will elevate your stargazing experience, especially during late June's meteor shower. And dark skies are especially important when northern lights are in the forecast, which could happen at any time, given we're still in the heart of solar maximum—the roughly 11-year peak in aurora activity. The lights put on an unexpected contiguous U.S. show in late May 2025, and those ribbons could dance again at any moment; here's our guide to catching them. Now, it's time for June's night-sky highlights. Here's what to look for while stargazing this month. Don't miss sunset on June 7—particularly the roughly half hour after the orange orb sinks, when Mercury and Jupiter will travel toward the horizon in tandem. You can admire the pair in the same field of view in binoculars or a backyard telescope from June 7 through the evening of June 9. (For safety, wait until the sun has fully set before using viewing aids to watch the planets.) June's full moon earned the 'strawberry' nickname for the month's proliferation of the bright red berries. According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, the name originated with Indigenous communities like the Algonquian, Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota tribes. It will reach its peak illumination at 3:44 p.m. ET; catch it rising above the southeast horizon after sunset. And despite the fruity label, this month's moon won't actually look pink. A mesmerizing view of strawberry moon in the dark night sky. Around 2 a.m. local time on June 19, the half-moon and vivid Saturn will tango together in the eastern sky. The duo will be close enough to share a view in your stargazing binoculars this morning. Scan down to spot Venus, which rises just after Saturn and the moon in the eastern sky. Friday, June 20, marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and the start of winter in the southern hemisphere. To celebrate the new season's kick-off, here are 23 summer vacation ideas for 2025—or, for powder chasers, a buzzy new hotel to bookmark for skiing in New Zealand this winter. Add another celestial meetup to your June stargazing bucket list with the close approach of Venus and the moon in the pre-dawn hours of June 22. This morning, the sliver of a moon will appear just above Venus along the eastern horizon. Saturn will glow in the sky to the right, and the sparkly Pleiades star cluster will be visible just to the pair's left. The June Bootid meteor shower is weak compared to the late-summer Perseids, but it has been known to produce unexpected flurries of 100 or more meteors per hour, according to You can try your luck with the Bootids during the peak overnight from June 26 to 27. The shower's radiant point, located in the constellation Bootes, will be visible high in the western sky after sunset and into the pre-dawn hours. Head out for sunset on June 29 to watch the crescent moon temporarily cover Mars. The objects appear to cross right as the sun sets, and they'll slowly separate from each other as they near the western horizon. Enjoy the show from sunset until around midnight local time, and keep an eye out for Mercury on the northwest horizon after sunset, too.

See Jupiter Face Mercury Amid ‘Space Clouds:' The Night Sky This Week
Each Monday, I pick out North America's celestial highlights for the week ahead (which also apply to mid-northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere). Check my main feed for more in-depth articles on stargazing, astronomy, eclipses and more. As summer nears in the Northern Hemisphere, the nights are short. This week, they're dominated by the moon, which enters its bulging gibbous phase in advance of next week's full strawberry moon. As well as its close brush with star Spica, there's a post-sunset view of giant Jupiter and tiny Mercury and, later at night, the chance of 'space clouds.' Here's everything you need to know about stargazing and astronomy this week: Monday, June 2: First Quarter Moon Stellarium At 10:41 p.m. EDT, the moon reaches its first quarter phase, appearing half-lit in the southern evening sky. It's a lovely sight, but it does mark the point where its brightness begins to bleach the night sky, making faint stars and constellations tougher to find. Look below the moon for Mars in the southwest and bright star Regulus in the constellation Leo between the two. Thursday, June 5: Moon And Spica Stellarium Tonight, the 77%-lit waxing gibbous moon approaches Spica, the constellation Virgo's brightest star (see below). They may appear close, but it's all an illusion — they're 261 light-years apart. Friday, June 6: Jupiter In Mercury In Conjunction Stellarium If you can find a clear view low to the northwest sky horizon, take your place shortly after sunset to try for a view of two planets just a few degrees from each other — Jupiter and Mercury. Technically, it's a naked-eye target, but binoculars may be essential given that it's so low on the horizon. They'll shine at a similar brightness, with Mercury on the way up just as Jupiter is on its way down. Tonight offers a second view of the planetary pair, with Mercury slightly higher in the northwestern sky and Jupiter marginally lower. It's likely your last look at Jupiter for a while. It will now enter the sun's glare, passing behind it from our point of view on June 24 before eventually reappearing in the morning sky in July. Darkness may be in short supply in June in northern latitudes, but as twilight deepens, there can often be something spectacular high in the northern sky. Look around 10 p.m. for noctilucent clouds, thread-like structures about 50 miles up close to the edge of space. They're the product of ice crystals forming around dust from meteors in the high atmosphere. Constellation Of The Week: Virgo Stellarium The constellation Virgo, 'the Maiden,' is high in the southern sky after dark this week. Its brightest star, Spica — close to the moon on Thursday — can be found using the Big Dipper. Follow the stars of its handle in an arc to go 'arc to Arcturus,' the bright reddish star in the constellation Boötes, 'the Herdsman,' then 'spike to Spica' (those it's usually pronounced 'speaker'). Virgo contains the Virgo Cluster, a group of galaxies about 54 million light-years from the Milky Way. The times and dates given apply to mid-northern latitudes. For the most accurate location-specific information, consult online planetariums like Stellarium. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.

Mars Meets The Moon As ‘Space Clouds' Gather: June's Night Sky
Each month, I pick out North America's celestial highlights for the week ahead (which also apply to mid-northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere). Check my main feed for more in-depth articles on stargazing, astronomy, eclipses and more. Stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere have a complicated relationship with June. It's a great month to get outdoors to go hiking and camping, but with the solstice coming on June 20, the hours of true darkness are short. So what's a stargazer to do? Stay up late and make those short nights count! Here's everything else you need to know about stargazing and the night sky in June 2025: When: local moonrise during dusk on Tuesday, June 10 and Wednesday, June 11, 2025 Where: eastern horizon Tonight's full strawberry moon will appear on the southeastern horizon just as the sun sets in the west, then hang low all night. This is its "lunar standstill," when it rises as far southeast as it ever does during its 18.6-year cycle. The moon actually reaches 100% illumination at 3:45 a.m. EDT on June 11. When: after sunset on Monday, June 16, 2025 Where: western sky In the west, after sunset tonight, two lights will shine very close to one another — reddish planet Mars and blueish star Regulus. The brightest star in the constellation Leo, 'the Lion,' Regulus, is 78 light-years distant. It and Mars will be less than a degree apart tonight and June 16. When: before sunrise on Monday, June 23, 2025 Where: eastern sky In the east-northeast, a slender waning crescent moon will be under half a degree from the Pleiades, a spectacular open cluster of stars also called the "Seven Sisters" and M45. As a bonus, Venus will shine brightly nearby. When: any night in June Where: high up in the eastern sky June is the best time to point a small telescope at the constellation Hercules close to the bright star Vega. Also called M13, it's a dense ball of thousands of ancient stars that orbits in the halo of our Milky Way galaxy. It's about 22,000 light-years from the solar system. When: after sunset on Friday, June 27, 2025 Where: western sky If you've never seen the tiny planet Mercury, here's a great chance to see it with a moon at its spectacular best. A slender 9%-lit waxing crescent moon will shine to the upper-right of tiny Mercury, visible just above the western horizon. When: June 30-July 21, 2025 Where: northern sky During twilight, look to the northern sky from the Northern Hemisphere for high altitude noctilucent clouds, web-like "space clouds" that grow as ice crystals form around dust in the high atmosphere left by meteors. When: after sunset on Sunday, June 29, 2025 Where: western sky This is June's celestial highlight — a very close conjunction of the moon and Mars. Taking place after sunset in the west, the moon and Mars will appear less than a fifth of a degree apart. That's super close. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.

Don't miss the crescent moon shining close to Mars on May 31
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The moon will appear to skip over Mars between the nights of May 31 and June 1, appearing to grow ever larger ahead of its first quarter phase next week. Stargazers in the U.S. can find the moon roughly 35 degrees above the western horizon an hour after sunset on May 31, with the stars of the constellations Leo (left) and Cancer (right) shining on either side. Mars will be visible as a bright reddish point of light approximately 7 degrees to the upper left of the sickle moon. Remember, you can judge distances in the night sky using nothing but your outstretched fist: The distance between your thumb and the other side of your clenched fist will take up around 10 degrees of sky, while the width of a single finger accounts for 1 degree. Aside from the Red Planet, the famous Beehive Cluster of stars will be visible to the lunar disk's lower right near the center of the cosmic crab, represented by the stars of the Cancer constellation. While the Beehive Cluster is visible to the naked eye under dark skies, a pair of 10x50 binoculars will bring out the majesty of the 1,000-strong 'hive' of stars. The moon is set to make its closest apparent approach to Mars at 6:52 a.m. EDT (1052 GMT) on June 1, at which time the two worlds will be separated by a little over 1 degree in the sky, according to stargazing site This will happen during the day for stargazers in the U.S., while the pair are hidden well below the horizon. TOP TELESCOPE PICK: Want to see the planets of our solar system for yourself? The Celestron NexStar 4SE is ideal for beginners wanting quality, reliable and quick views of celestial objects. For a more in-depth look at our Celestron NexStar 4SE review. By the time the sun sets on June 1, the moon will have skipped past Mars to appear on the Red Planet's upper left, with a little over 5 degrees separating the two solar system bodies. Regulus, one of the northern hemisphere's brightest stars, will be visible shining to the left of the moon soon after twilight falls. Its crescent form will appear to travel around the bright star as the night unfolds, before eventually setting atop it around midnight local time. The next night will see the moon appear fuller ahead of its first quarter phase on June 2, at which point half of its disk will be bathed in direct sunlight from the perspective of Earth. Photographers hoping to capture the wonders of our solar system after sunset should check out our guides on the best cameras and best lenses for astrophotography. Those looking to see the light cast out from distant stars and galaxies should also read up on our roundups of the best binocular and telescopes deals available in 2025.

Make sure the lens is clean and free of fingerprints or smudges. If using with a smartphone, ensure the adapter is properly aligned. ❌ Problem: Smartphone Adapter Doesn't Fit Properly Fix: Loosen and adjust the clamp arms carefully — most adapters are universal but may require repositioning for multi-lens phones. Try removing your phone case to improve alignment. ❌ Problem: Double Vision or Image Distortion Fix: Clean both lenses with a microfiber cloth. Make sure the monocular isn't fogged up (especially when moving between temperature zones). Check if the internal lens is misaligned due to a drop — in rare cases, customer support may need to assist. ❌ Problem: View Is Too Dark or Dim Fix: Ensure you are not using it in complete darkness — Starscope is optimized for daylight and low-light, but not for nighttime use. Wipe off any moisture or condensation from the lens. ❌ Problem: Can't See Anything Through the Eyepiece Fix: Remove all lens caps. Adjust your eye position — the exit pupil must align with your eye. Twist the eyecup if you're wearing glasses. ❌ Problem: Scratched or Smudged Lens Fix: Use only soft, non-abrasive cloths (preferably microfiber).
