Saturn Shines near Neptune (overnight)
From late June to early July, 2025, the orbital motion of Saturn will carry it close enough to the distant planet Neptune for the two planets to share the view in a backyard telescope during the hours between midnight and dawn. The yellowish, medium-bright planet Saturn will shine about one-third of the way
up the southeastern sky before dawn. 560-times fainter Neptune will require a telescope to see it. Your telescope will likely mirror and/or invert the view shown here. Neptune will appear as a blue, non-twinkling "star".
