"June 2023 Night Sky: Venus and Over 1000 Stars Align for Astrophotography"

June is a great month for astrophotography, with opportunities to capture passing satellites, space clouds, and the planets Mars and Venus in the photogenic Beehive Cluster. The month also features a low-hanging "Strawberry Moon," a young crescent moon, and a planetary conjunction with a 13%-lit crescent moon alongside a very bright Venus. Additionally, June is a great time to photograph noctilucent clouds, which are lit up for a few hours by the sun after sunset.
