Middle Georgia should get a bit of rain to start the week after Tuesday, but the rest of the week should be sunny enough to get outside and finally cut the grass, if the National Weather Service's weather forecast proves accurate. Skywatchers can get a good view of Venus and Pollux (along with Pollux's twin, Castor) on Sunday as they appear close together in the night sky in the constellation Gemini. The following is the day-by-day weather forecast for this week in the heart of Georgia.

ASTRONOMY FORECAST
On Sunday, June 7th, the planet Venus will pass close by the star Pollux, which is located in the constellation Gemini. Both should be visible to the naked eye, if the clouds don't block the view. Pollux is the brightest star in Gemini and is an orange-hued red giant located 34 light-years away from Earth. The star is larger than our Sun, but has exhausted its hydrogen core and become a giant star. When you find Pollux in the sky, you might see its "heavenly twin" star nearby, Castor. Unlike its twin, Castor's color is blueish. In Babylonian, Greek, and Roman mythology, Castor and Pollux are twin brothers.
