Night sky in June
These charts show the whole sky at about 10 pm in mid-June (9 pm at the end of the month, 11 pm at the start; add an hour for daylight saving time). From 40° N the constellations highest in the sky are Corona Borealis, Boötes, Hercules and Canes Venatici.
Hold the chart above your head with the bottom edge toward the direction you face: the center is the point straight overhead (zenith), the edge is the horizon. East is on the left because you look up at the sky, not down at a map.
