Eye on the Night Sky
Monday, June 01, 2026
Today:
The fading western twilight from 9:15 to 9:30 PM always features four prominent stars as June gets underway. Lowest of the quartet shines Procyon, the Little Dog, due west, and getting ready to set. Well right in the northwest appears Capella, the fourth brightest star we can see. Ordinarlily, we conclude with the Twins of Gemini higher and between them, but this year includes Mercury, also low between them, and the stunning Venus (brighter) and Jupiter (higher) within this stellar grouping.
