Look to the Sky this summer

Sky watchers in Orkney were treated to a spectacular young, crescent moon earlier this week, on Wednesday night.

There is more to come later in the month, looking further ahead to the solar eclipse, later this summer, on August 21.

For all the upcoming meteorological events and movements, pick up a copy of this week’s newspaper and turn to page 28, for this month’s Look to the Sky column by Rousay astronomer John Vetterlein.
