from The Old Farmer’s Almanac, 2003
“Jupiter, near the crescent Moon on the 4th, gets lower in the west and is now visible only before midnight. The Moon is at perigee on the 12th. Mercury and Venus come strikingly close together on the 20th but are a difficult sight a few degrees above the eastern horizon in the predawn twilight. Saturn is totally gone, invisibly entering Gemini before passing behind the Sun on the 24th. The big story is Mars, now brilliant (and 500 times brighter than Uranus, which floats just above the red planet). Rising soon after midnight Mars is near the Moon on the 18th. Summer begins with the solsitce on the 21st at 12:10 in the afternoon.”
