Hello Kainaatis!

In this newsletter, we have two amazing episodes of Kainaati Chai: One with the co-writer and executive producer of Cosmos, Ann Druyan, and the other with the wonderful musician and the person behind the Kainaat theme for Kainaati Gup Shup, Umer Piracha. In addition, Dr. Salman visited Pakistan and met with amateur astronomy groups in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. Plus, Kainaat established a collaboration with Pakistan Science Club and a "Knowledge Partnership" with the Dawood Foundation's MagnifiScience Centre in Karachi. Kainaat Studios is helping with the content for the astronomy wing of the museum. And of course, in June, don't miss out on watching all the major planets lined up in the morning sky.

M13, as seen from Lahore. M13, also known as the Hercules Globular Cluster is a dense collection of stars, that is at least 25,000 light years away from Earth. This image was captured by Umair Asim from the Eden Astronomical Observatory, using a Celestron C14 telescope.

Moon and Constellations

June’s moon never rises so high in the sky to rid itself of sunset hues. Look out for this yellow-orange moon just barely above the horizon at around 9 pm on June 15. Look overhead for a fairly bright star Arcturus, which is the brightest star of the constellation Boötes.

Morning Sky

Look at the morning sky around 5 am to see more than half the solar system with your naked eye! Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn hang out with the almost full moon, spread across east to west and close to the ecliptic, a rare sight!
