Planets Light Morning Skies
The constellation Corona Borealis, known as the Northern Crown, is visible arcing just to the left of the foreground tree. The location of the recurrent nova, T Coronae Borealis, is indicated in red. If/when this star explodes, it may briefly become as bright as Alphecca, the star near the center of the crown's arc and the brightest star in Corona Borealis.
Our evening skies are almost totally devoid of bright planets during May and June. The planetary action has shifted entirely to the morning sky. The first planet to appear is Saturn, well up in the eastern sky during the pre-dawn hours and rising around midnight by the end of June.
