Since the beginning of June, a period unfavorable for night astronomical observations begins at the latitude of Kyiv: the Sun does not sink below the horizon more than 18 ° and the evening astronomical twilight turns into morning. This situation will last until about mid-July. On June 21, the declination of the center of the solar disk will reach its maximum value (23°26’11”) — the summer solstice will come. On the night of June 15-16, from the territory of Ukraine, the Moon will cover a fairly bright star, the τ Sagittarii.
