Mars brightens the July evening sky with close approach
The July heavens describe Mars near Earth in a 15 year close approach about 39,740,000 miles away as sunset glow fades. Vesta and Spica guide observers in the Sagittarian sky while Vega Altair Deneb and Arcturus crown the season with notable brightenings and planetary visibility. Mercury appears as a morning star near month end.
