On July 6, the Earth will be at aphelion, that is, at the farthest distance from the Sun. The distance from our planet to the star will be 152,093,251 km. Experts told regarding it Moscow planetarium.

On July 20, the Moon will also be as far away from its “mistress” as possible. The distance to the satellite will be 406,289 km.

Astronomers consider July an unfavorable month for observing the starry sky, since the Sun does not go deep enough below the horizon, and scattered sunlight is present in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, noctilucent clouds can appear in the twilight sky throughout the month.

On July 30 and 31, from midnight until dawn, without optical devices, it will be possible to admire the South Delta Aquarids meteor shower. Approximately 25 stars will fall on Earth per hour.
