Highlighting the Near and Deep Sky What’s Up E W Highlighting the Near and Deep Sky June 1 - 30, 2018 S

General Information June 2018 Among June’s celestial happenings: Summer arrives! It’s 2018’s best opportunity for viewing our favorite ringed planet! It’s also a great time to try and spot the brightest of all the asteroids! Sunset Range: 8:35 PM (June 1st) to 8:44 PM (June 30th). End of Astronomical Twilight*: 10:25 PM (June 1st) to 10:37 PM (June 30th). * This is “full darkness” – the sun has reached 18° below the horizon. It’s usually dark enough for observing about a half hour before this.

Moon Phases June 2018 Wed., 6th – Last Quarter (Fri./Sat. observing opportunities June 8th/9th) Wed., 13th – New Moon (The waxing Moon shines for weekend observing.) Wed., 20th – First Quarter Thurs., 28th – Full Moon Roughly speaking: First Quarter Moon is highest at sunset and sets at midnight Full Moon rises at sunset and is in the sky all night Last (“Third”) Quarter Moon rises at midnight and is highest at dawn New Moon sets at sunset and is absent from the sky all night

Celestial Events Cancer June 2018 June 16th, 10:00 PM Daylight removed for visibility Sat., 2nd – Moon at apogee; 63.55 Earth-radii from Earth. (At apogee again on Friday, the 29th, when 63.66 Earth-radii from Earth.) Wed., 13th – Equation of Time is 0 – clocks and solar time briefly in sync. Thurs., 14th – Moon at perigee; 56.37 Earth-radii from Earth (11.3% and 11.5% nearer, respectively, than on the 2nd and 29th). Sat., 16th – Check low in west about 10:00 PM for slender crescent Moon and Venus, with the Beehive Cluster (M44) in between. Tues., 19th – Vesta, the brightest asteroid, reaches opposition, and at mag. 5.3 could be spotted naked eye from a dark-sky location. Thurs., 21st – Summer Solstice; longest day of the year. (For astrologers, the Sun enters Cancer, but astronomically it’s entering Gemini.) Wed./Thurs., 27th/28th – Saturn is at opposition and, with its rings near maximum tilt, shines at mag. 0.0. (Full Moon 1° North on 27th.) 8° Moon M44 Venus Cancer 17° Willie Leenders, 2005, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time#/ media/File:Tijdvereffening-equation_of_time-en.jpg
