June 25 - Let's Star Party

June 25 Let's Star Party by:

Astro festivals, star parties, workshops​​ Summertime is a great time for star parties, in part because, at this time of year, we can see toward the galaxy's center. Plus Mars will be bright this summer. Join in, and have fun! Hayabusa 2 closes in on asteroid Ryugu​ As of yesterday, Japan's Hayabusa 2 craft was about 22 miles (36 km) from Ryugu. The craft will get slightly closer over the next several days. Latest images here. A solargraph over the Kelpies, Scotland​ Don't miss this solargraph - created from the sun's path across the sky from last March until just before last week's solstice. It's beautiful! Latest sunsets follow summer solstice​ Latest sunsets around now for 40 degrees north latitude. Latest sunrises around now for 40 degrees south latitude.
