Sky Guide June 2016

What to look out, and up, for in June.

Our tour of the highlights of this month's skies begins with the planets on offer to observers and imagers:

  • Jupiter
  • Mars
  • Saturn

Next up is the meteor showers and we have quite a few daytime showers that can be spotted in the pre-dawn sky as well as some more usual showers in June:

  • Arietids
  • Zeta Perseids
  • June Lyrids
  • June Bootids

Then we each take a deep sky pick from our list of favourites for this time of year:

  • Ralph - M13 The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules
  • Paul - M8 The Lagoon Nebula
  • Jeni - M57 The Ring Nebula

And we finish this sky guide with June's moon phases and planetary conjunctions.
