On the other hand, there will be more alliances and, as always, full moon with the legendary name of the ancient Native Americans. There is something to see, so take the good ones binoculars.
you won’t need telescope see most of the shows that this month of astronomical events has to offer us, although if you have it, even better. Does everything you’ve read so far grab your attention? Then write down in your calendar the dates that we will tell you below.
Hive and its planets
During nights of June 1 and 2 we can see Mars very close to or even within the Hive cluster. Binoculars are enough to see this peculiarity of astronomical events, although, logically, a telescope is better.
And, if we miss a date, we can always repeat the observation with Venuswhich will also be on the Hive during nights of 12 and 13 June.
All astronomical events have their full moon
The full moon of the June astronomical events can be seen in the sky during night of June 4. For this reason, he is known as strawberry moon, since this is the time when Native Americans picked the ripest strawberries. In addition, it indicates the peak of the harvest of this fruit.
Rare Meteor Shower: Arietids
During June 11 we will see the top of a very peculiar stellar stream known as a meteor shower from daylight. Arietids are so intense you can even see them 60 shooting stars per hour. But there is a problem. Their radiant, or the point at which they appear to be born, is very close to the Sun, making it very difficult to see. Only a few meteors can be seen in the early morning hours, shortly before sunrise, but it is impossible to see them in all their splendor.
Summer or winter solstice
He 21st of June Summer will begin in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern. This is because it is the day of the first solstice of the year, when, as always, the Sun reaches its maximum northern latitude in relation to the equator. Therefore, we will have the shortest night and the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere and vice versa in the southern.
The planet is dancing astronomical events
As in all astronomical events, we could not help but mention the conjunctions of the planets. In June, we’ll start with one between Mercury and Uranus on the 4th, when Lluna’s moon premieres. Later, the Moon will pose next to various planets for a month. It will happen first with Saturn on the 9th, then with Jupiter on the 14th, with Mercury on the 16th, and with Venus and Mars on the 22nd.
Today you have the first of astronomical events, don’t forget.
