What's Up for July 2023? | Skywatching Tips from NASA

What are some skywatching highlights in July 2023 for the Northern Hemisphere?

Mars and Venus start the month close together, but part ways and head lower as July goes on. Mars appears very near Regulus in Leo on the 9th and 10th. Saturn and Jupiter rule the night, along with bright star Fomalhaut. And July is prime time for viewing the Milky Way core from dark sky locations.
