Friday, June 3 Look west in twilight for the thin waxing crescent Moon far below Pollux and Castor, as shown here.
Saturday, June 4
In twilight, look forPollux and Castor to the upper right of the Moon, and look for Procyondisappearing about equally far to the Moon's lower left, as shown here.
Sunday, June 5
Well to the right of theMoon as twilight fades are Pollux and Castor. They're lined up to pointalmost back at the Moon. As soon as the sky grows dark, use binocularsto look for M44, the Beehive Star Cluster, roughly a binocular fieldabove the Moon and perhaps a little to the right.
Are you light-polluted where you live? Most of us are. But don't be discouraged by the astronomy you can't do; instead, figure out what you can. For instance, see Hugh Bartlett's "Binocular Sights for City Nights," with finder photos, in the JuneSky & Telescope, page 52.
Monday, June 6
Sparkly, summery Scorpius isrearing up in the south-southeast these evenings. Its brightest star isfiery Antares. Look for the other, whiter stars of upper Scorpius oneither side of Antares and farther to its upper right.
Tuesday, June 7
A small telescope willalways show Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Tonight and tomorrow nightTitan is about four ring-lengths to Saturn's west. A 6-inch telescopewill begin to show the orange color of its smoggy atmosphere. Toidentify fainter satellites closer to Saturn, use ourSaturn's Moons tracker.
Wednesday, June 8
First-quarter Moon (exact at 10:11 p.m. EDT). The Moon shines south of Leo.
Watch the thickening Moon march through the gap between Virgo and Corvus night to night.

Friday, June 10
This evening look forSaturn to the Moon's upper right, Spica to the Moon's upper left, andbrighter Arcturus very high above them all.
Saturday, June 11
Around 10 or 11 p.m.(depending on where you live), the dim Little Dipper floats straightupward from Polaris at the end of its handle, like a lost helium balloontrailing its string.
With summer almost here, the bigSummer Triangle is coming to dominate the eastern sky. Its topmost andbrightest star is Vega, plain to see. Look lower left of Vega, by two orthree fist-widths at arm's length, for Deneb, the brightest star in itsarea. Farther to the lower right of Vega is Altair.
