What’s In July’s Skies By Matt Woods
2022 WINTER EDITION
Planets: Mercury will be viewable for the first few days of July, very low on the horizon in the constellation of Taurus (The Bull) before disappearing into the sun’s glare. It will return later in the month in the constellation Leo (The Lion) for the last three days low in the evening sky. Venus can be found low in the constellation of Taurus until the middle of the month, when it moves through the constellation of Orion (The Hunter) and into the constellation of Gemini (The Twins). Mars is viewable in the early morning, and it’ll move from the constellation of Pisces (The Fish) to the constellation of Aries (The Ram) at the beginning of the second week of July. Jupiter will be in the constellation of Cetus (The Sea Monster) throughout July, rising around Midnight. Saturn can still be found late in the evening throughout July in between the constellations of Capricornus (The Sea Goat) and Aquarius (The Water Bearer). Uranus is rising in the early morning in between the constellations of Aries and Taurus. At the very end of July, it will be awfully close to Mars. Neptune is just above Jupiter, close to the more northern than fish of the cancellation of Pisces. It’s rising before midnight throughout July.
