Tonight's Sky: June 2022

Tonight's Sky: June 2022

Though the nights are shorter in June, they are filled with fine sights. Look for the Hercules constellation, which will lead you to a globular star cluster with hundreds of thousands of densely packed stars. You can also spot Draco the dragon, which will point you to the Cat’s Eye Nebula. Keep watching for space-based views of globular star clusters and the nebula.

“Tonight’s Sky” is a monthly video of constellations you can observe in the night sky of the northern hemisphere. This series is produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, home of science operations for the Hubble Space Telescope, in partnership with NASA’s Universe of Learning.
