The summer night sky is filled with sparkling, shining and barely visible colorful stars.

Behind the rockets’ red glare, there is plenty to see Saturday night overhead.

Venus and Jupiter are two of the brightest planets in the solar system, and lately they have been acting like star-crossed lovers. By Tuesday night, they will appear close enough to shake hands, or if both are in accord perhaps something more romantic.

On Sunday night, the gibbous moon appears low in the southeastern sky, near the bright star Spica.

Summer arrives on Sunday afternoon at 12:38 p.m.

Nearly all the visible planets are viewable at night, shortly after sunset.
