Skywatch: Jupiter shines bright before its date with Juno


Saturn is about zero magnitude — bright enough to see from light-polluted urban areas, while Antares is at first magnitude. Mars, Saturn and Antares can be seen in prime time as you face south around the 9- to-10 p.m. hour throughout July. Mercury is zero magnitude — bright — later in July. The young moon is under Jupiter on July 8, and on the following night, the moon leapfrogs Jupiter. ●July 29 – Paint the planet red, it’s Mars Day!
