THE PLANETS

During the evening twilight, Mercury is the only planet visible, but this inner speedy world will disappear into the solar glow towards the month’s close. The action switches to the eastern sky with Jupiter, followed closely by Saturn, rising in the early evening (20:00) – transiting mid-morning. About midnight, Mars and Neptune arrive to be followed by Uranus at 04:00 mid-month. June sees Venus return to the morning sky and it's up before dawn as the month closes.
