The upcoming week will bring the shortest nights of the entire year across the United States, but there will still be plenty to look out for in the night sky including a planetary duo glowing next to the moon.
Astronomical summer will officially kick off on Wednesday with the solstice, which will occur at 10:57 a.m. EDT— the latest start to summer since 2019. This comes three weeks after the start of meteorological summer, which began on Thursday, June 1.
