As June draws to a close, the Summer Triangle begins to appear in the eastern sky around 8 PM. This iconic trio—Vega in Lyra, Altair in Aquila, and Deneb in Cygnus—marks the arrival of summer in the night sky.

Around the same time, low in the southern sky, the Omega Centauri cluster (ω Cen)—known as the largest globular cluster in the entire sky—reaches its highest point. Although it rises only about 6 to 7 degrees above the horizon, under clear conditions, you might catch a faint glimpse of it through binoculars.

Earlier this month, on June 1st, Venus reached its greatest western elongation, appearing as a strikingly bright “morning star” in the pre-dawn sky. Shining at magnitude -4.3, its brilliance cuts sharply through the early morning twilight.

Why not look up at the night sky from your train platform?
The stars quietly tell the story of the changing seasons. 🌟
