  5. The Night Sky Friday, June 28 · The Big Dipper, still high in the northwest, is moving a little lower now and starting to dip around toward the right. Follow the curve of its handle a little more than a Dipper-length left, and you land on bright Arcturus high in the southwest. Saturday, June 29 · This is the time of year when, after dark, the dim Little Dipper floats straight upward from Polaris (the end of its handle) — like a helium balloon on a string escaped from some summer evening party. Sunday, June 30 · Vega is the brightest star high in the east. Right next to Vega lies one of the best-known multiple stars in the sky: 4th-magnitude Epsilon (ε) Lyrae, the Double-Double. It forms one corner of a roughly equilateral triangle with Vega and Zeta (ζ) Lyrae. The triangle is less than 2° on a side. A 4-inch telescope at 100× or more should resolve each of Epsilon's two wide components into a tight pair. Zeta Lyrae is also a double star for binoculars; much tougher, but easily split with a telescope. Monday, July 1 · If you have a dark enough sky, the Milky Way now forms a magnificent arch high across the whole eastern sky after nightfall is complete. It runs all the way from below Cassiopeia low in the north-northeast, up and across Cygnus and the Summer Triangle in the east, and down past the spout of the Sagittarius Teapot in the south-southeast.
