  5. The Night Sky Monday, June 13 · The thick gibbous Moon shines near the head of Scorpius this evening. Look for Antares farther to the Moon's lower left, as shown here. Tuesday, June 14 · Look for Antares to the right of the Moon, as shown here. Wednesday, June 15 · Full Moon, in Sagittarius (exactly full at 4:14 p.m. EDT). A total eclipse of the Moon is visible from Africa, Australia, much of Asia, and parts of Europe and South America. Lunar eclipse details and webcasts. Thursday, June 16 · Look rather low in the west-northwest as twilight fades to find Pollux and Castor, lined up more or less horizontally. These two "winter" stars have far outstayed their season. How much longer in June can you follow them as they sink down? Friday, June 17 · The Moon rises in the east-southeast in late evening, depending on where you are. Far to its upper left shines Altair. Farther on in the same direction are the other two stars of the Summer Triangle: Vega and lesser Deneb.
