Saturday June 18
The constellation Delphinus, the dolphin glides through the Milky Way in summer nights. Tonight rises soon after sunset and arches high above the head. Look for it below the Summer Triangle, which is quite high in the east a couple of hours after nightfall.
Sunday June 19
The planet Saturn is in the southwest at dusk and it looks like a bright golden star. A true star in the constellation Virgo is a short distance away, so it's as if you were seeing double.

Monday June 20
Summer arrives tomorrow in the northern hemisphere. From the most northern Mexico the sun is directly overhead at local noon (Tropic of Cancer). Then descend to the south, reaching its southernmost point in December.
Tuesday June 21
Summer arrives today in the northern hemisphere. Starts at 12:16 hours Central Standard Time in Mexico, which is the time to produce the June solstice. It is the longest day of the year and day when the sun is further north in the sky.

Wednesday June 22
The moon reaches its last quarter phase tomorrow at 6:48 central time hours in Mexico. Sunlight illuminates half-facing hemisphere of the Earth, so half of the disc is bright while the other half is dark.
Thursday June 23
The constellation Ursa minor extends almost vertically from the North Star, Polaris, early evening. Ursa Minor, the little bear spreads like 20 degrees, the width of a palm open hand at arm's length view.
Friday June 24
The late spring and early summer are good times to find the constellation Centaurus, the mythological creature half man and half horse is visible from all over Mexico, but the more south we are, the better appreciate this area full of stars bright. Is low in the south and about 90 minutes after the start of the Sun
