July’s Sky Show: Planets, Manhattanhenge, and Meteor Showers

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

July’s night sky in New York is a cosmic carnival—planets like Venus and Jupiter shine bright, the Summer Triangle dominates overhead, and the Milky Way glows from spots like Floyd Bennett Field, especially under the new moon on the 14th. Don’t miss Manhattanhenge on the 11th, when the sun aligns with the city’s grid for a dazzling urban sunset. Three meteor showers light up the end of the month, though the full moon on the 29th may dim them—so catch the action a week before or wait for the Perseids in mid-August. Free telescope viewings nightly, a solar sungazing event on Staten Island, and a High Line event with the James Webb Space Telescope team make this July a hands-on astronomy adventure you won’t want to miss.
