Eye on the Night Sky
Thursday, June 06, 2024
Today:
June finds the Milky Way just beginning to return to the skies in the east. The skies will be all the more dark in light of tonight’s new moon, and will feature a better view of the faint wisps of star clouds that form our view of the Milky Way. The Milky Way will climb a little higher each evening, and remains in the evening skies through the winter.
