Each June, the sky above the Cape stages its quiet argument for wonder — but this year, the planets have arranged themselves with unusual generosity. Venus and Jupiter converge in the western twilight, the Moon sweeps past them in a rare daytime disappearing act, and the solstice marks the year's longest breath. These are not extraordinary events in the cosmic sense, but they are extraordinary in the human one: moments when the scale of the universe becomes briefly, beautifully legible to anyone willing to look up.
