Thursday July 3 to Thursday July 10
The First Quarter Moon is Thursday July 3. Earth is at aphelion ,when it is furthest from Earth, on the 4th. Mercury is rising the evening twilight and is highest on the 4th. Mercury is close to the Beehive cluster on the 3rd. Mars is lowering in the early evening sky as it moves through Leo moving away from the bright star Regulus. Nova V462 Lupi is visible in binoculars in the evening and is joined by Nova V572 Velorum, a rare event. Saturn and Venus are visible in the morning twilight. Venus is close to Uranus between the 3rd and 6th. Look for the constellation Corona Borealis before midnight, the blaze star T Coronae Borealis (TCrB) may go Nova eventually.

Northern sky on the evening of Saturday, July 5 as seen from Adelaide at 22:00 ACST (click to embiggen)
If you look to the North just before midnight, you will see a prominent bright orange star, Arcturus, if you look northeast you will see a dainty circlet of stars. Corona Borealis, the northern crown. The blaze star T CrB is located on the right-hand side to the circlet, where the line of stars turns down, there are no other bright stars in the region, so when it erupts it will be easily visible. Viewing tips at my T CrB post. After some brief excitement last week (false alarm) TCrB can potentially go Nova any time between now and August 2025.
