The summer solstice has arrived and the longest day of the year will create the most hours of sunlight.
The yearly event is not usually of particular importance when it comes to stargazing, but this year is a little different. In fact, today, June 21, will see a special event occur that is not expected to repeat until March 2028, according to experts.
According to Stellarium charts, a solstice gathering of the moon, Mars and Venus will be visible in our sky as they head towards the western horizon. The best chance to view the phenomenon will be on Wednesday, June 21, with the final sight of the week to occur on Thursday, June 22, according to Timeanddate.com.
