From June 19, 2024, the peak of summer awaits us with some extremely interesting events. The most exciting of them is the summer solstice on June 20, when we will experience the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. This is the time when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky and offers us the most daylight. In Slovenia and elsewhere in the northern hemisphere, people will celebrate this day with special rituals, festivals and spending time in nature. Just two days later, on June 22, 2024, there will be a full moon in the sign of Capricorn. This lunar cycle brings the completion of projects and reflection on past achievements. Capricorn's energy encourages us to focus on our ambitions and hard work. This time is great for completing important tasks and setting new goals for the future.

Astrophysics is no longer just a matter for scientists. Stargazing isn't just for hippies. Maybe it's Instagram's fault because everyone wants to take the perfect photo of the stars and prove how connected they are to the Universe? Or is it simply that we look to the sky out of desperation? Whoever is "guilty", this instant astrotourism getaway is a must-have vacation.

Those of us who live in the northern hemisphere are somewhat deprived of observing the starry sky in the early autumn months, or it is more difficult to do so. A few times during this time, the stars, planets and the Milky Way are obscured by the presence of some very beautiful full moons. But if the moon excites you, then you are in luck. Those of you who will be watching the night sky in October will be able to observe the Hunter's Moon on October 24, a version of the full moon that has long been an important event in traditional folklore and remains an object of interest to astronomers.

Sky watchers have discovered a new natural phenomenon in Canada that strongly resembles the northern lights. According to NASA, “citizen scientists”—people funded by NASA who are interested in science but have no formal training—recorded 30 cases of these mysterious lights appearing between 2015 and 2016. NASA named the aurora Steve.

The Perseids are probably the most popular meteor shower that can be seen in the night sky until August 24. The peak of the Perseid meteor shower, i.e. the largest number of visible meteors, is expected on the night of August 12-13, 2017. At that time, more than 60 meteors per hour will light up the sky.

Calvin College scientists have predicted a collision of stars for 2022, which will stage a real light show in space. This will be the result of the collision of two stars orbiting or they circled so close that they collided. The consequences of the collision should be visible from Earth in 2022 at the latest, when the light should reach us. They will be visible without a telescope.

A supermoon – the term for a full moon that is larger and brighter than normal full moons – is a fascinating celestial phenomenon. At this time, the full moon is closest to the Earth, so it is not only larger and brighter than average, but also its influence is stronger. This supermoon will not only be the biggest this year, but the biggest in the 21st century! The super moon on Monday, November 14, 2016 will be the closest to Earth since the super moon that was in the sky on January 26, 1948!

Today's Friday is astronomically one of the most bizarre days, as several celestial phenomena coincide, which evoke mysticism! The solar eclipse that will take place today, March 20, 2015, will begin around 10:30 in the morning, and it will peak around 10:40. The day is more than ideal, and you will be able to see it all over Slovenia. And don't miss it, because the solar eclipse will then "eclipse" until 2022. Today is also the spring solstice or equinox, the night in which witches prefer to dance and is considered one of the most mystical nights of the year. Some believe that today will be the end of the world!
