The Milky Way core season is here 🌌 . The bright central bulge of our home galaxy is visible all night in June, continuing through August. It is best observed from dark sky locations far from bright city lights, and appears as a faint, cloud-like band arching across the sky.

A rare Nova explosion is anticipated to occur sometime in the coming months and we’ll be able to see the light here on Earth 🌎💥 . Practice finding the Coronae Borealis in the night sky, so you have a point of comparison when the Nova appears there.
