"Stargazers' Guide: Witness the Spectacular Summer Sky Show with Mars, Venus, and Neptune Tonight!"

Tonight, Mars and Venus will make a close approach in the night sky, visible at sunset just below the Leo constellation. Meanwhile, Neptune will rise over the horizon after midnight, marking the beginning of retrograde motion. Mars and Venus should be easy to locate, with Venus appearing bright and Mars as a reddish orb above and to the left of Venus. The moon will be fairly bright, and skywatchers interested in seeing Neptune in retrograde motion will have to stay up late. Neptune will appear above the Cetus constellation, but using a stargazing app may make it easier to locate.
