JoinScope on the Skies: Dance of the planets and our Moon
This summer, the visible planets will put on quite a display, giving us not only the opportunity to compare relative orbital motions, but to also see some beautiful arrangements and conjunctions among the planets, stars, and our Moon. Some of the celestial activity will conveniently take place during the early evening hours and some during the early morning predawn hours. Use the accompanying calendar to follow the Moon and planets during the summer months.
