The wild part starts Tuesday, when <I>Mars</I>, <I>Saturn</I> and the star <I>Regulus</I>-- part of the constellation <I>Leo</I>-- loiter together, with Mars and Regulus tightly grouped. On subsequent nights, sky gazers will observe that Mars moves toward Saturn. A new <I>moon</I> joins the trio on the evenings of July 5 and 6.

The following week, look west. Saturn (zero magnitude, bright enough to see in urban skies) and Mars conjunct July 10 above the western horizon. You can spot them after dusk. The ringed planet is the brighter of the two, and Mars (first magnitude) has the rusty, red tint.
