On Monday, June 2, the moon will be seen close to Jupiter, and the following night, close to Antares, On the early morning of June 4, there will be a small partial eclipse of the moon, starting at 6.56, but as it will be small, and very near the western horizon, and as there will be interference from oncoming daylight, it will not be a good one from either the astronomer's or the layman's point of view. The winter solstice or "shortest day" will fall in the Southern Hemisphere on Sunday, June 22. Jupiter will again be close to the moon on Sunday, June 29.
