==== IN THE SKY THIS WEEK ===
The New Moon is Monday June 26.
In the early evening (6-7pm local time) you can see ruddy Mars, golden Saturn and coppery Mercury strung out in a line just above the north-western horizon.
Mercury comes closer to Saturn during the week, and next Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 the thin crescent Moon joins the line-up - get the cameras out for this.
In the dawn sky bright Venus is readily seen above the north-eastern horizon.
On the morning of Friday June 23, the crescent Moon will be to the left of Venus, above the Pleiades cluster, a rather attractive sight.
