Look in the night sky to see Saturn shine next to the full moon

Mark your calendars. The night sky this week will offer a visual feast of heavenly proportions.

As soon as the sun goes down this week, look to the east. If you have a clear view, you will see Saturn shine brightly as the Earth's orbit takes us directly between Saturn and the sun on Wednesday.

According to a NASA surveillance video, the best time to discover the world in a loop is around midnight.

That said, you could take care to look over you on Wednesday, when the full moon rises not far from Saturn in the night sky.

Saturn will be at its closest point to Earth this week, allowing astronomers to take a look at the gas giant.

The planet will look a bit like a bright star with yellow and colorless reflections when it will be seen at the naked eye.

That said, a backyard telescope or binoculars would allow space seekers to better see the rings of the planet.

On Wednesday, the first full moon of the summer, nicknamed "Strawberry Moon", will rise around 12:53 pm Wednesday.

But do not be fooled by the nickname, the full moon will not have any extra color.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, the first full moon after the summer has indicated the start of the strawberry picking season.

And while the full moon will only last the day, Saturn will be visible in the night sky for several months.

It is only the beginning of a summer filled with fun celestial events. Mars will be bigger in the sky by the end of the month, which will make it visible from 22:30. in the early hours of the morning.

Then, at the end of July, Earth and Mars will be the closest since 2003.
