ALMANAC |

July 2nd began the daylight hours with a sunrise at 5:11, and will finish up with a sunset at 8:38, the length of the day 15 hours and 27 minutes.
In the evening skies:
Saturn will be high in the southwest by 9:00 as twilight fades, then gradually slides into the southwestern skies through the night, setting a little after 1 AM EDT.
In the morning skies:
Jupiter rises about 11:00 PM in the east-southeast, and will be low in the south as twilight brightens.
Venus is bright but low in the morning twilight, seen low in the east between 4:00 and 4:45.
Mars is just barely visible left of Venus near 4:00 AM EDT. Venus and Mars will remain close through mid-summer, with some great early morning views in June and July.
Mercury is in the pre-dawn hours, though poor viewing.
