Some sights in the early June night sky
FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
If predicted storm clouds hold off, tonight will be a good opportunity to step out and get your bearings in the night sky.
After 9 p.m. or so, look to the west as the crescent moon – just three days past new – begins to set. The two bright stars just above and to the right are Castor and Pollux, the heads of the Twins in Gemini.
High in the southeast is bright, orangey Arcturus, guardian of the Great Bear. Below Arcturus, and to the right, about halfway up the southern sky, is yellowish Saturn.
