The position of Jupiter in the sky
You should be able to glimpse Jupiter in the predawn sky late this week. The giant planet lies 5° high in the east-northeast 30 minutes before sunrise this morning and gains a little altitude with each new day. Jupiter shines at magnitude –2.0, which makes it plenty bright enough to see against the twilight glow
The position of Mercury in the sky
Mercury returns to the evening sky during June’s second week. This evening, it shines at magnitude –1.0 and appears 6° high in the west-northwest 30 minutes after sunset. If you have trouble finding the innermost planet with your naked eyes, sweep just above the horizon with binoculars
