Tonight: reddish Mars is snuggled up next to the Pleiades star cluster. No telescope needed. Sailors in Copernicus's time navigated by those same stars. NIGHT arrives July 7.

Have you looked west after sunset lately? Venus and Jupiter are putting on a show tonight — just 1 degree apart, roughly the width of your thumb held at arm's length. No telescope required. Copernicus spent thirty years watching these same planets. What did he figure out? Read NIGHT, arriving July 7
Tonight: a Blue Moon. The second full moon of May — and one of 13 full moons in 2026. Copernicus counted moons like this one, night after night, for decades. NIGHT arrives July 7.
Today is the International Day of Light. But Copernicus was a man of darkness. No electricity, no city glow — just the raw night sky over the Baltic Sea. NIGHT arrives July 7.
