Eye on the Night Sky
Friday, June 06, 2025
Today:
Night owls can see a pale yellow point of light rising in the east-southeast at 2 o’clock, better seen after 3 AM, our distant planetary cousin, Saturn. Much closer, and much brighter as well as more intense in its yellow hue, Venus will rise about an hour later, well placed for viewing in the east-northeast from 3:45 to 4:45. Venus’ yellow will be no match for that of the rising sun, roughly an hour later.
