Hello folks,
I've never heard about this activity before. This is just fun facts for now. More to come about full moon. Wanted to share.
The first month of meteorological summer brings a trio of noteworthy astronomical events, including Venus reaching its greatest elongation, a plump Strawberry Moon and the arrival of the seasonal solstice.
The month begins with the second planet from the Sun lighting up the night sky on June 1.
Venus will reach its greatest western elongation from the Sun, making it highly visible on the horizon during the dawn hours.
The rocky planet is usually too close to the giant to be seen clearly, but during times of elongation - the greatest angular distance between a planet and the Sun - Venus can be seen without the aid of a telescope.
Let us know if you seen anything noteworthy.
Cheers to summer!
Jen
