Jupiter and Venus Shine Bright Under Dark Skies This Weekend
With the full Flower Moon no longer illuminating the night sky, stargazers can enjoy dark, moonless conditions this weekend. Jupiter and Venus are particularly prominent in the western sky after sunset, with Venus rapidly brightening as the 'Evening Star.' The moon has entered its last quarter phase, rising after midnight, ensuring optimal stargazing conditions for the next 10 days. Spring constellations such as Ursa Major, Boötes, Cancer, and Leo are also visible. Stargazers are encouraged to try the classic navigation technique of 'arc to Arcturus,' using the Big Dipper to locate the red supergiant star Arcturus and bluish Spica.
