Saturn and Mars approach was created by JohnMurphy
From SPACE.com:

"On the evening of June 17, Mars will appear to pass just to the north of Saturn. They will be separated by 0.56 degrees."

Should be one to keep any eye out for.
Clear Skies,

It one of a number of things happening that is eagerly awaited.
The weather last week would have been perfect for it, hopefully we'll get some more clear skies over the next week or so.

Considering it is ony 5 days from now, I would actually hope for about 2 or 3 days of light rain to help wash away that dust that otherwise keeps lingering in the night time air during this warm weather. The rain would help 'wash' the air in time!
