This week on Star Trails, join Drew as we delve into the astronomical highlights from June 30th to July 6th, 2024. With the moon transitioning from a waning crescent to a new moon, the darkest skies of the month unveil the perfect backdrop for stargazing.

Witness Mars, Saturn, and the early morning planets, explore the intriguing lore behind the constellations Serpens, Delphinus, and Capricornus, and marvel at deep sky treasures like the Eagle Nebula and the Andromeda Galaxy.

We'll also unravel the mystery of retrograde motion—a celestial phenomenon that puzzled astronomers for centuries. Tune in for a cosmic journey that connects us with the universe's grand ballet.
