Venus has been missing from our skies recently. Why? The planet has just passed behind the Sun, making it unobservable to us here on Earth.
But Earth’s twin planet is making a comeback. From around now until March 2025—depending on the latitude of your town or city—Venus will shine in the western evening sky after sunset.
Did you know summer lasts longer in the Northern Hemisphere? However, for a variety of complex reasons, next year’s northern summer will be about 15 minutes shorter than in 2024.
Since ancient times, Full Moon names have helped us track the change of seasons. July’s Full Moon is called the Buck Moon—thanks to the new antlers that emerge from a buck’s forehead around this time of year.
