Abstract

Saturn and Jupiter appear after midnight and offer some fine views, while the predawn sky hosts Mercury, best seen in the first half of June. FEATURES JUNE 2023 Buzzing through the Beehive Venus reaches its best for the year as an evening object this month. On June 16, a waning crescent Moon hangs less than 5° above Mercury's location; the magnitude -0.7 planet is now so low that it is challenging to spot. Mars, in Leo, stands 4.5° from Venus, while M44 lies 7° west of Venus. [Extracted from the article]
