Today:
At dusk this evening, the Moon appears about a third of the way up in the west-southwest. As the Moon lowers toward the western horizon, a companion will emerge from the evening twilight at around 9:40. This is the star Regulus, the brightest in the constellation Leo. Looking farther toward the horizon in the west-northwest, the two align well with Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury.
Saturday:
At 11 PM, look for the bluish-white star Vega, high in the east. It is also known as Alpha Lyrae, the brightest star in Lyra, the Harp, as well as being the highest star in the Summer Triangle, Altair and Deneb. Appearing lower in the sky is perhaps a little strange for these two stars, as each is the brightest star within a constellation denoting a bird: The Eagle, in the case of Altair; and The Swan, in the case of Deneb.
Sunday:
Today is the Summer Solstice, which officially occurs at 4:25 AM EDT. At Montpelier the sun rises at 5:06 AM and sets at 8:37, resulting in 15 hours and 31 minutes of daylight, and making this the longest day of the year. The transition into shortening days is easy at first, with tomorrow shorter than today by a mere 3 seconds.
