Happy summer! Today marks the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere — the first day of astronomical summer.

At the summer solstice, Earth’s North Pole is tilted most toward the Sun. That tilt gives the Northern Hemisphere its longest stretch of daylight, while the Southern Hemisphere experiences its winter solstice and least amount of daylight.

Mercury is usually difficult to spot because it stays close to the Sun in our sky, but tonight offers a good chance. Look for Mercury low in the western sky shortly after sunset. Mercury appears farthest from the Sun in the evening sky, making this a good time to view the closest planet to the Sun.
