On July 17, 2035, the Moon will be in conjunction with the star Regulus in the constellation Leo. Regulus, a bright blue-white star, will appear very close to the Moon in the night sky, creating a visually appealing pairing. This event will be best observed in the evening.

On June 23, 2035, the planet Mercury will reach its greatest western elongation. This means Mercury will be at its farthest point from the Sun in the morning sky, making it the best time to see it. Look towards the eastern horizon just before sunrise to spot this elusive planet.
On June 19, 2035, the Moon will be in conjunction with the star Regulus in the constellation Leo. Regulus, a bright blue-white star, will appear very close to the Moon in the night sky, creating a visually appealing pairing. This event will be best observed in the evening.
