PLANETS ALIGN: Step outside tonight at sunset and look west toward the glow of the setting sun. As soon as the sky gets dark, you'll see three planets--Venus, Mercury and Saturn--gathered close together not far above the western horizon It's a beautiful alignment. You have three chances to see them: June 25th, June 26th and June 27th. A clear view of the western horizon is key.
NOCTILUCENT CLOUDS: While you're out looking at the planets, be alert also for noctilucent clouds. They've been sighted over Europe and/or Canada almost every day for the past two weeks. Noctilucent clouds typically appear after sunset, glowing electric blue and crisscrossed by many fine ripples and waves.
