Today:
Looking into the west-northwest by 9 PM, you should be able to note Jupiter, as it floats abreast of the much brighter Venus, to its right. Closer to the horizon and farther to the right, Mercury will also appear, as the last of the sunlight dims. All will have sunk below the horizon by 11:20.
Monday:
June finds the Milky Way just beginning to return to the skies in the east, surrounded by the three bright stars of the Summer Triangle. The Milky Way will climb a little higher each evening,, allowing the skies to feature increasingly better views of the faint wisps of star clouds that form our view of the Milky Way. It remains visible in the evening skies through the winter.
Tuesday:
This evening at 9 PM presents a familiar sight. Venus and Jupiter are again suspended in the west-northwest. Things have shifted a little bit, so that Venus is now slightly above into the right of Jupiter. And this time they are even closer together, separated by only about one degree. This is, in fact, the closest these two planets will appear to one another until November of 2028.
