Telescopes Binoculars Microscopes Coming soon to a sky near you ... Check out our monthly astronomy calendar to discover what awaits in June's skies! At any moment of the day, countless awe-inspiring celestial events are unfolding in the sky. With a universe of options, it can be hard to pin down what to observe. Our monthly astronomy calendar provides a peek into what's happening in the sky and in the world of astronomy in general and gives a quick list of highlights that can jump start your own explorations. CLICK TO VIEW THE FULL CALENDAR Astrophotographer David Ng captured Messier 13 (the Hercules Globular Cluster) with the aid of an Explore Scientific ED102 Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor.  June constellation spotlight: Hercules! Named for one of the greatest mythological heroes, the Hercules constellation currently stands strong in the Northern Hemisphere's night sky proudly displaying his celestial strengths. Visible from 90° north to 50° south, Hercules is the fifth largest constellation and covers a 1,225 square degree area. It is easy to locate due to its positioning between the very bright stars Vega in the Lyra constellation and Arcturus in the Bootes constellation.  One of Hercules' most stunning treats is the aptly named Great Globular Cluster (Messier 13). Home to hundreds of thousands of stars, this brilliant cluster covers a 145 light year span and is widely regarded as the best of its kind in the northern sky. Although it is huge, this celestial beauty is not an object for the unaided eye. To see resolved stars, you will need a telescope with a fairly large aperture.

Telescopes Binoculars Microscopes Where discovery thrives ... The 171st Global Star Party livestream launches at 6 p.m. CDT tonight! "The pursuit of science is a voyage of discovery, often revealing truths far ahead of their time," wrote Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, whose groundbreaking work at age 23 on the mass limit of white dwarfs—now known as the Chandrasekhar limit—was initially rejected by leading physicist Arthur Eddington as "absurd," only to be vindicated decades later through theoretical and observational breakthroughs that confirmed the existence of neutron stars and black holes.  In 2025, astronomy stands at a similar threshold, with discoveries ranging from possible biosignatures on exoplanet K2-18b and organic molecules on asteroid Bennu, to oxygen in an ancient galaxy detected by the James Webb Space Telescope, each forcing us to reimagine our understanding of life and cosmic evolution. Amid rare stellar occultations, mysterious high-energy events, and deep-sky imaging, the line between professional and citizen science has blurred; volunteers have helped identify thousands of exoplanets, map Jupiter's atmosphere, discover active asteroids, and refine dark energy surveys.  Today, the frontiers of science are advanced not just by institutions but by a global community of curious minds—proof that discovery, like Chandrasekhar's legacy, thrives where vision meets perseverance and where the courage to question is met with the openness to learn.
