You’ll want to keep your eyes on the skies these next few months. For example, on Sunday at sunset sky-watchers should look for the thin, waxing crescent moon to appear in a stunningly close encounter with the planet Venus low in the southwestern sky. From 2 to 3 p.m. on Sunday you can enjoy indoor stargazing at an Exoplanets and Ice Cream event on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus. The event will also be held on Friday nights. 

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Emily Thornton joined director Jean Creighton of the Manfred Olsen Planetarium for a chat on the summer skies.
