Astronomers tell us that there are billions of galaxies in the Universe besides our own Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy is special though, because it’s the only other galaxy that we can see from Earth with the naked eye. Scientists tell us that it may contain up to a trillion stars, more than the 200 billion or so found in our Milky Way.

The big news in the heavens this month is the annular solar eclipse that will occur in the United States on Oct. 14. This event happens when our moon is between the Earth and sun but farther from us in its elliptical orbit. At this point, it only blocks the center of the sun resulting in an outer “ring of fire.”

On June 21 and 22, Mars and Venus will be joined by a waxing, crescent Moon in the western sky just after sunset. They might even be close enough to get all three in the same view through binoculars.
