AstroQuest - June 2022

A brief look at the summer solstice and special focus will be on the upcoming alignment of planets in the dawn sky late this month. You’ll be able to see all five of the planets visible without a telescope with a bonus of one telescopic planet for the telescope owners. What is a syzygy and is this an example? We’ll take a view of the solar system from above and go on to consider some interesting gravitational effects in our solar system and beyond.
