Before sunrise on July 11 and 12, look east/southeast for the waning crescent Moon, Mars, and Saturn. Uranus is in the same part of the sky, but you will need binoculars or a telescope to spot it. Around July 14, use binoculars or a telescope to seek Comet 10P/Tempel 2 under dark skies of the New Moon. Those nights are also a great time to look for the Milky Way, while later in the month Saturn's rings appear strikingly thin through a telescope. 0:00 Intro 0:11 Moon, Mars, Saturn, and Uranus before dawn 0:47 Comet 10P/Tempel 2 1:35 Dark skies for the Milky Way 2:34 Saturn's thin rings 2:57 July Moon phases Additional information about topics covered in this episode of What's Up, along with still images from the video, and the video transcript, are available at https://science.nasa.gov/skywatching/whats-up. — Additional Resources — Find events and clubs with NASA's Night Sky Network: https://science.nasa.gov/skywatching/night-sky-network/ Skywatching resources from NASA: https://science.nasa.gov/skywatching Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Tue, 14 Jul 2026 07:46:24 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://xcdr.tv https://xcdr.tv/lazy-static/avatars/d7ff3488-9036-438f-95d1-547afee4fcf4.png https://xcdr.tv/videos/watch/af122a89-63b5-4d0d-ad65-3765391d0aea All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://xcdr.tv/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
