Summer sunshine
One month beyond the Summer Solstice, and the lowering sun is becoming more evident. In Fairbanks its getting dim, and over the next few days, cloud cover permitting, a few bright stars will be visible around solar midnight, which is 2AM ADT. The sun path chart at the right illustrates how the solar decline will accelerate.
Update July 28th: Jupiter was clearly visible in the southeast sky about 130am on July 27th. Vega was clearly visible about 115am in the southwest sky about 115am on July 28th.
