Looking Up! Bedfordshire’s Night Sky June & July 2022 See Blue Vega and Yellow Arcturus: Two of the brightest stars in the summer sky show a striking colour difference when viewed against each other. Almost overhead on summer evenings is Vega. If you compare Vega to the next brightest star high up to the southwest, Arcturus, you’ll see Vega has a blue tinge to its light, indicating that it is a hot star, and Arcturus appears more yellow and so has a cooler surface temperature. Move your eyes quickly from one star to the other and the colour difference is quite pronounced.

Two bright planets return to the sky this summer. Best visible an hour before dawn from mid-June onwards Jupiter stands out as a bright star-like object low to the southeast horizon. About an extended forearm’s width across the sky to the right is Saturn. The ringed planet is dimmer to the naked eye than Jupiter but is still easy to identify as no stars in the vicinity are as bright as Saturn.

On the night of 13 – 14 July we get to see the closest full moon of 2022. The July supermoon rises over the southeast horizon at about 10pm on 13 July. Through the hours of darkness it’ll glide low across the southern horizon, never getting that high in the sky, and so making for some spectacular photographic opportunities against the moonlit landscape below.
