NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has shared its skywatching highlights - revealing what will light up the sky in July of 2025.

Mercury reaches its greatest elongation, 26 degrees east of the sun on July 4. From latitude 40 degrees north, the +0.6-magnitude planet is low in the west-northwest and sets during twilight about 1.5 hours after sunset, and only an hour after the sun on July 12 when the planet will be of magnitude +1.2.
