What a beautiful evening to be out under the stars! Bright Jupiter and the Moon will appear in the constellation of Gemini. It will be a delight to see. See if you can pick which of the bright stars under the Moon is Castor and which is Pollux. they are the brighter stars in Gemini.
If you want to make the most of your summer stargazing, we recommend escaping to an Astrotourism Town in country WA and enjoying a view of the sky under dark conditions.
When and where to look:
Head outside at about 8pm and look to the north eastern horizon.
Something Interesting:
Jupiter is the “King of the Planets” in our Solar System. That’s because it’s the largest! It’s a pretty windy place. The wind speeds can be over 500 km/hr and this creates the cloud bands across the surface of the planet. You’d certainly have a bad hair day on Jupiter.
