In the early hours of Sunday morning (June 19) the waning moon will pass within a thumbs width of asteroid Vesta in the east-southeastern sky.
During this close approach, the pair will share the view in a widefield telescope eyepiece, according to Chris Vaughan, amateur astronomer with SkySafari Software who oversees Space.com's Night Sky calendar . Shining at magnitude 6.75, Vesta will be visible to the moon 's upper left.

NASA spacecraft captures one of the brightest stars in night sky | Science-Environment
Late last month, the high-resolution camera onboard NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft snapped Vega, one of the brightest stars in the night sky and one of the solar system's closest neighbours at just 25 light-years.
In this black and white image captured by the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO), a distinctly bright spot is visible in the distance. The six spikes around Vega result from light bouncing off of the structure that holds the camera's second mirror in place.
The biggest mistakes in Jurassic Park including 'skulls on steroids'
If you’re a fan of Jurassic Park, then you’ve probably wondered just how accurate it is – here’s everything you need to know.
In a recent video for Wired , one palaeontologist, Dr Hans Sues, breaks down exactly what Jurassic Park got wrong in its movies.
Freedom's Fortress
About 35 million years ago, an asteroid or comet smashed into the continental shelf near what is now the mouth of Chesapeake Bay . Among the areas in the blast zone was Old Point Comfort , the southernmost spit of land on the Virginia Peninsula.
In August 1619, two British-owned privateer ships—the White Lion and the Treasurer —came ashore at Old Point Comfort and delivered 20 to 30 captive Africans in exchange for food.
The Meaning of the Agamemnon Counterpart Video, Explained
If you're into weird, creepy videos, then you've come to the right place, my friend. Let's talk about Agamemnon Counterpart. It's the title of a video that was allegedly created in 2001, but didn't make it to the internet until 2006, year after YouTube was created.
But every few years or so, this video recirculates and scores of folks end up watching it and naturally becoming confused. In fact, you may have recently seen it on TikTok . If not, you can watch it here .
A solar power station in space to beam electricity to Earth? Yes, it's possible - Science News
Building a solar power station in space, namely in the Geosynchronous orbit, might provide power efficiency 35 times better than that of photovoltaic power stations on Earth, overcoming problems such as wet and overcast weather, as well as the day and night cycle.
Solar electricity from space could be a solution to the world's energy problems.However, much like nuclear fusion, there is still a lot of uncertainty about development costs and timelines.Still, scientists from China's Xidian University completed testing and inspection on a ground array intended ...
Look up! See the moon shine near massive asteroid Vesta this weekend. https://t.co/NknwySZIRo https://t.co/epm100Ioug SPACEdotcom (from NYC) Sat Jun 18 11:18:45 +0000 2022
