Pssssst, or rather Ssssst, it’s snake time on June 10 at 5 p.m. at the Chilmark Public Library.

The moon still dominates our evening sky this weekend. Friday’s gibbous moon resides in the zodiacal constellation Capricornis.

Late Monday night, the last quarter moon rises late in the evening. The moon will be in the zodiacal constellation Aquarius. The moon is not alone, but is in close proximity to the distant planet Neptune.

Neptune is a difficult planet to find without a star chart, a guide, and a super dark and clear night.

Venus and Jupiter
