5. The Night Sky Sky & Telescope Tuesday, June 3 The waxing Moon now walks eastward under the Sickle of Leo from night to night. Look above the Moon early this evening for Regulus and Gamma (γ) Leonis, slightly fainter. They're the two brightest stars of the Sickle of Leo. Wednesday, June 4 As the stars come out, Regulus and the Sickle of Leo are now upper right of the Moon. Thursday, June 5 First-quarter Moon (exact at 4:39 p.m. EDT). The Moon shines below the hind foot of Leo this evening."Cassiopeia" usually means "Cold!" Late fall and winter are when this landmark constellation is high overhead (for mid-northern latitudes), but even on warm June evenings it's lurking low. After dark, look for it down near the north horizon. It's a wide, upright W. The farther north you are, the higher it'll appear. But even as far south as San Diego and Atlanta it's completely above the true horizon. Friday, June 6 With June under way, the Big Dipper is swinging around after dark to hang down by its handle high in the northwest. The middle star of its handle is Mizar, with tiny little Alcor right next to it. On which side of Mizar should you look for Alcor? As always, on the side toward Vega! Which is now shining in the east-northeast. Saturday, June 7 The waxing gibbous Moon shines below Mars this evening. Look for Spica to their left.
