July 22: Saturn and Neptune Saturn and Neptune continue to separate in the morning sky; Saturn has now moved back into Pisces, in which Neptune is also currently positioned. This image was obtained around 2:30 a.m. on the morning of July 22 during a short period of clear skies between storms. |

July 16: Venus and crescent Moon The crescent Moon glides by Venus on successive evenings in mid-July, although from the eastern United States, it is far to the lower right the first day and far to the upper left the second day ~ there must be a close conjunction visible from the other side of the Earth on the evening of the 17th! |

July 4: Mars and Uranus Mars and Uranus undergo a very close conjunction on the morning of July 4, with only about 1/10th of a degree separating them; they are situated between Aldebaran and the Pleiades. |

July 3: Venus and Jupiter Venus and Jupiter have separated so far now that they are not really visible as a pair anymore. This is most likely the last image of Jupiter in the evening sky I will obtain during this apparition, as it is now setting in bright twilight. Venus is now only a few days away from passing Regulus in Leo. |
