  5. The Night Sky Monday, June 4  · This evening the bright Moon shines well to the left of Antares. Tuesday, June 5 · Transit of Venus across the face of the Sun this afternoon for North and Central America; on June 6th local date for Asia, Australia, and much of Europe. Lots more information and further links: Your Viewing Guide to the Transit of Venus. Wednesday, June 6 · Look very high in the south after dark for bright Arcturus. Much lower, and perhaps a bit right, are Saturn and (below it) Spica. Farther down to their lower right is the four-star pattern of Corvus, the Crow. Thursday, June 7 · Have you ever explored the swarm of galaxies awaiting your telescope by the head of Serpens?

As always, on the side toward bright Vega, which is now shining in the east-northeast..
