🌠 How To Make the Most of This Week
✔ Observe the Moon on July 21 when crater shadows are at their most dramatic.
✔ Photograph the Milky Way early in the week before the Moon becomes too bright.
✔ Find Albireo through binoculars—its contrasting blue and golden stars make it one of the most beautiful double stars in the night sky.
✔ Stay out after midnight to catch the first noticeable increase in Delta Aquariid meteors.
✔ Wake before dawn for excellent views of Saturn and some of the darkest skies of the week.
This week is all about balance. You still have plenty of dark sky to enjoy the Milky Way, while the growing Moon provides spectacular opportunities for lunar observing before the month reaches its meteor-filled finale.
