Notes to the data
© Copyright AlltheSky.com

The nights of June are very short on the northern hemisphere at moderate northern latitudes. The above view shows all the sky in June just after dusk. Prominent Scorpius with the bright reddish star Antares is just above the southern horizon. Conspicuous Bootes reaches its highest point and the summer triangle with the constellations Cygnus, Lyra, and Aquila rise in the east. On the other hand we have Leo saying "good bye" in the west. Visible planets in June 2010 are Mars in Leo and Saturn in Virgo. Jupiter is visible in Pisces in the morning hours. The above photography from 2006 shows bright Jupiter in Libra, between Scorpius and Virgo.
