Comet Nishimura teases us shyly low on the dawn horizon, then low on the dusk horizon. The Milky Way arches high across the evening sky, and Saturn invites your telescope. The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, September 8 – 17 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .

Saturn comes to opposition. Vega crests at the zenith, while Arcturus is exploring the lower west. Go out before the first light of dawn now, and there's your New Year's evening view. The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, August 25 – September 3 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .

The Perseid meteors come rushing in, and peak Perseid night ends with the waning crescent Moon triangulating Castor and Pollux. Vega and Sagittarius culminate after dark. Scorpius lays itself down. The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, August 11 – 20 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .

We're approaching the peak of the Perseid meteors. Vega claims the zenith as the Teapot claims the south. In twilight, Mars has a friendly but not very intimate date with Mercury. The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, August 4 – 13 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .

Venus turns super-interesting and then disappears. Mercury lingers behind it in twilight. So does little Mars in third place. On the other side of the sky, the Moon passes Saturn. The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, July 28 – August 6 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .

Low in twilight, Mercury consorts with Venus and squeaks by Regulus. The waxing gibbous Moon does what it does every July: crosses Scorpius and Sagittarius. The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, July 21 – 30 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .

Venus, Mercury, and Mars, very unequal, gather low in the western twilight with the crescent Moon stepping over them and Regulus in their midst. And do you know which way the Kite of Boötes bends? The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, July 14 – 23 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .

Mars meets Regulus while Venus looks on. Scorpius comes to its July height — bearing its double stars, Cat's Eyes, and Little Cat's Eyes. And keep a lookout for noctilucent clouds at the end of dusk. The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, July 7 – 16 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .

Full Moon in the Teapot. Are the colors of brights easier to discern in moonlight? Twilight? Mars closes in on Regulus as Venus watches. And the supernova in the Pinwheel Galaxy is still 12th magnitude. The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, June 30 – July 9 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .

Venus almost meets Mars in the western twilight, then runs away. Vega and Arcturus become equally balanced across the zenith. Down from Vega hangs the Summer Triangle. The post This Week's Sky at a Glance, June 23 – July 3 appeared first on Sky & Telescope .
