Tonight (June 11), just 38 hours after the moon rendezvoused with the sun to produce the "ring of fire" solar eclipse , our rocky satellite will pair off with the second brightest object in the night sky: Venus .
As day turns to night, roughly 45 minutes after sunset tonight, take a look toward the west-southwest part of the sky for a beautiful celestial tableau formed by the slender sliver of a crescent moon, just 3% illuminated, and the brilliant planet Venus. Venus will appear to hover just 4 degrees above and to the left of the moon .

S.Korea's Moon heads for G7 summit overshadowed by China | WTVB | 1590 AM · 95.5 FM | The Voice
SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korean President Moon Jae-in was set to depart Friday for the Group of Seven summit in Britain where talk of countering China could overshadow Seoul's efforts to be seen as a bigger player on issues such as climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic.
South Korea is one of several guest nations invited to the G7 meeting as the rich democracies try to show the world they can still act in concert to tackle major crises by donating hundreds of millions of COVID-19 vaccines to poor countries and pledging to slow climate change.

The core stage of the SLS moon rocket sits between the twin boosters. The business end is pointed down. The Orion spacecraft will go on top.
While NASA is still aiming to take humans back to the moon, this particular SLS is meant for Artemis I, an uncrewed mission around the moon that could launch later this year.
The core stage and boosters are now on the mobile launcher platform, a large support structure that can be moved (slowly) out to the launch pad when it's ready for takeoff.
'Eclipse Season' Is Over. The Next One Will Bring A 97% 'Blood Moon' And A Total Solar Eclipse
Wait. Eclipses come in seasons? Yes—and the next one beginning on November 19, 2021 is going to be way more spectacular than the one Earth just experienced.
Here's everything you need to know—and the dates for your diary—of 2021's second eclipse season, and the celestial mechanics behind these dramatic periods:
Every 173 days an eclipse season begins. They last between 31 and 37 days and occur when the Moon is lined-up perfectly to intersect the ecliptic —the apparent path of the Sun through our daytime sky and the plane of Earth's orbit of the Sun.
'To The Moon,' Part 4: Diamond Hands - WSJ
Individual investors banded together online to send GameStop soaring in January. Many of those investors were inspired by one man, Keith Gill, aka DeepF-ingValue, aka Roaring Kitty. On episode four of "To The Moon," we hear how WSJ reporter Julia Verlaine tracked down Mr. Gill, and we trace how his arguments inspired legions of GameStop investors to buy...and hold.
Here's what would actually happen if we changed the Moon's orbit
It's always bigger in Texas . In this case, the "bigger" is a galaxy brain thought: To solve the climate crisis , why don't we just move the Moon ?
Sure, it sounds like a barroom hypothetical pitched after three Long Island ice teas or something a child would ask, but it's a real question, posed by Republican U.S. Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas to National Forest System associate deputy chief Jennifer Eberlein in a House Natural Resources Committee meeting this week.
NASA Juno Returns Closest Images of Jupiter's Moon Ganymede - The Wire Science

New Delhi : NASA’s Juno space probe captured the first two images of Jupiter’s Ganymede in its closest approach to the moon on June 7. June travelled at 66,800 km per hour to come within around 1,000 km of Ganymede’s surface, becoming the closest any spacecraft has come Ganymede since the Galileo did in 2000.
NASA released Juno’s first two pictures on June 8, showing Ganymede’s craters, possible tectonic faults and distinct bright and dark terrains in great detail.
Solar eclipse from space! See satellite view of moon casting its shadow on Earth (video) | Space
A satellite captured the moon casting its shadow on Earth during the annular solar eclipse early Thursday (June 10) morning.
Just as the sun began to rise onThursday morning, skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere were treated to a spectacular sight: an annular solar eclipse, also known as a "ring of fire" eclipse.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on our planet and temporarily blocking the sun from our view. However, during an annular solar eclipse, the moon is too far from Earth to fully block out the sun, so the sun's bright edge remains visible.
Jerry Kelly 'over the moon' after second straight home victory | Golf News and Tour Information |
There aren't many home games in professional golf, but for Jerry Kelly, the American Family Insurance Championship in Madison, Wis., is one of them, and his comfort level again paid off on Sunday.
Kelly, a Madison native, resident and fan favorite, won the tournament for the second straight time, prevailing at University Ridge Golf Course when Fred Couples, whose own popularity seemingly makes every tournament a home game, bogeyed the 18th hole.
"It can't get any better than this," Kelly said, moments after Couples' par-saving attempt at 18 just slid past the hole on the right. "It means so much for me to win around here. I'm over the moon."
