  5. The Night Sky Monday, June 17 · The Moon this evening forms the end of a curving line with Spica and Saturn, counting to the Moon's left. Look below the Moon for the four-star figure of Corvus. Tuesday, June 18· The Moon now shines just below the line between Spica and Saturn. Wednesday, June 19· Dim little Mercury is closest to bright Venus low in twilight this evening.

Thursday, June 20 · Look lower left of the Moon at dusk, by almost two fists at arm's lengths, for orange-red Antares. Between them is the three-star row of the Head of Scorpius, nearly vertical. · This is Midsummer's Night, the shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The solstice is at 1:04 a.m. on the 21st EDT; 10:04 p.m. on the 20th PDT. Wrote a friend in the Pacific Northwest, "There'll be bonfires from Kalaloch to Portland tonight."
