Match the biggest stars on the chart to the brightest stars in the sky.  \nThe center of the chart is the top of the sky.  \ntude. If the planet moves significatnly during a month, other positions will be noted with dates. The ECLIPTIC is the path of the Sun through the sky but the planets and Moon move along it, too. It passes through the constellations of the zodiac.  \nJuly 2026 Planet Notes (15th of each month)  \nVenus, at magnitude –4 . 1, sets in the west about 2 hours after the Sun. Mars , at magnitude +1.3, in Taurus, rises in the east around 3 AM. Jupiter, at magnitude –1 .8, in Cancer, sets in the west 30 minutes after the Sun. Saturn, at magnitude +0.7, in Pisces, rises in the east around 12:30 AM.  \nDistances planets are from Earth the 15th of this month: Venus: 86,000,000 miles, Mars: 191,000,000 miles, Jupiter: 584,000,000 miles, Saturn: 861,000,000 miles.  \nJuly Notes  \nAt the top of the sky is HERCULES, containing the 4 stars of the Keystone and on one of its sides, the favorite globular cluster, M13. To its west side is CORONA BOREALIS and BOOTES, punuctuated by Arcturus. The Big Dipper’s handle curves and points to Arcturus and then “speeds on” to Spica in VIRGO. To the east of Hercules is small LYRA and then, CYGNUS, the Northern Cross. The three stars, Vega, Deneb and Altair form the Summer Triangle. Due south, just above the horizon, is SCORPIUS and to its left SAGITTARIUS. The center to our Milky Way Galaxy lies in this direction, where a giant black hole resides. This is the thickest part of the Milky Way Band and is a great area to scan with bincoulars—you will see many interesting objects and “clumps.”  \nSELECTED Clusters, Nebulae, Galaxies + ly = Light year, a unit of distance. 1 ly = 6 trillion miles. Our Moon (and Sun) spans 30 ' (30 arc minutes) or 1/2° .  \nAlbireo. This 3rd magnitude stars becomes two stars, a blue and gold splendor, in a telescope with just 50x. In CYGNUS.  \n Coma Cluster. Sprinkle of 40+ stars. Appears as a faint haze in dark skies. Spans 4.5° . In COMA BERENICES.  \n Coathanger Cluster. Ten stars that form the shape of a singlewire coathanger. In VULPECULA.  \n IC4665 . A cluster of 30 stars that is best in binoculars. It spansan area larger than the Moon. In OPHIUCHUS.  \n M24 Star Cloud. Very thick patch of the Milky Way Band. Mag 3.5 / Spans 1° x 1.5° . In SAGITTARIUS.  \nM7 . Ptolemy’s Cluster. A great cluster, nice in binoculars or telescope. About 80 stars at magnitude 3.3 spaning an area lager than the Moon. Can see as a “patch” with eyes. In SCORPIUS.  \nM8 . Lagoon Nebula. Distance: 4,100 ly / Diameter: 100 ly / Mag 6 / Spans 1.5° . Star being born in nebula. In SAGITTARIUS. M11 . Wild Duck Cluster. Distance: 6,120 ly / Stretches: 25 ly / Mag 5.8 / Spans 14'. Contains 200+ stars. In SCUTUM. M13 . Globular Cluster. Distance: 21,000 ly / Diameter: 104 ly / Mag 5.8 / Spans 17'. Contains 500,000 stars. In HERCULES. M22 . Globular Cluster. Distance: 10,400 ly / Diameter: 88 ly / Mag 5.1 / Spans 29'. 100,000+ stars. In SAGITTARIUS.  \nM57 . Ring Nebula (Planetary) . Distance: 1360 ly / Diameter: 0.5 to  \n1 ly / Mag 9 / Spans 1.3'. In LYRA. Remnants of a dying star. M81/82 . Bode’s Galaxies. Visible in many light polluted skies. M82 shaped like a cigar. Mags 6.8/8 .1. In URSA MAJOR.  \nMizar. Two stars with good eyes or binoculars. Three stars with a telescope at 50x. Located in the handle of the Big Dipper.  \nObserving Tips for above Objects  \nIf possible, observe at a dark location and when the Moon isnot bright. A bright Moon will make it more difficult to see the stars and impossible to see clusters, nebulae and galaxies. Only a small telescope at lower magnifications, around 50x, is requi","cbCaidkBxVqR6Smm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidkBxVqR6Smm","pdf",1320108,"English","# What’s Out Tonight?\n## Instructions\n## July 2026 Planet Notes\n## July Notes\n## Selected Clusters, Nebulae, Galaxies\n## Observing Tips\n## Brightest Stars\n## July Mythology","[{\"question\":\"How should the star chart be oriented for observing?\",\"answer\":\"Face north, south, east, or west, then rotate the chart so your direction is at the bottom.
