| Venus |
| Make the most of seeing Venus this month as it approaches the Sun very quickly and will be lost in the glare by May 29th.
Look to the West-Northwest Venus is still very bright. |
| Due to our latitude of 57 degrees 26 minutes North the nights become very short during the summer months with only an hour or two of darkness in June. |
With darkening nights a large variety of objects are available to to observe including the Planets, Stars, Galaxies, Comets & Nebula. With the naked eye there are Meteorites (Shooting Stars), Fireballs, Meteor Showers, Satellites and on occasion the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). |
