The Night Sky
Monday, July 11 · Look 2° or 3° below the Moon for Antares early this evening, as shown below.
Tuesday, July 12 · Happy birthday Neptune! Today it's exactly one Neptune year since the planet's discovery in 1846. Never again will a major planet of the solar system have failed to complete a full orbit since it was found. See the July Sky & Telescope, page 28. To locate Neptune with your binoculars or telescope (at magnitude 7.9), you can use our printable finder chart.
Wednesday, July 13 · Look below the bright Moon for the Teapot pattern of Sagittarius, as shown above.
Thursday, July 14 · Full Moon tonight (exact at 2:40 a.m. Friday morning Eastern Daylight Time). The Moon is left of the Sagittarius Teapot after dark. · The eclipsing binary star Beta Lyrae is coming out of its minimum light at the time of nightfall for the Americas. See the June Sky & Telescope, page 60.
Friday, July 15 · After the just-past-full Moon rises well up late this evening, use binoculars to look a little above it for Beta Capricorni and, higher, the wide double star Alpha Capricorni. With good distance vision, you can normally split Alpha Cap naked-eye. Can you still do this with the bright Moon so close?
