The best nights of stargazing are upon us.

The stars of night and especially the Milky Way were unavailable this week.

This is a wonderful time of year to be looking up at the stars.

On Sunday night take a look towards the western sky about a half hour after sunset.

The Earth’s two closest neighboring planets, Mars and Venus, will look so close together in the nights ahead.

Late Monday night the gibbous moon appears right under the bright planet Saturn, low in the southeastern sky.
