    Eye to eye with Mars and both inner planets at dichotomy

    Jupiter is exiting the evening sky. The moon passes Regulus and Venus. Saturn's rings at their best for a while. Orion's hunting trip begins in the morning. Earth is getting closer to the sun now, but that's not why it's so hot in the northern hemisphere lately.

    Two asteroids at opposition

    Two asteroids orbiting between Mars and Jupiter are up all night this week. One got its name because of two sad events that happened on the same date 13 years apart. Venus passes by Regulus. Jupiter approaches the crab. The moon passes Saturn.
