Where will you be viewing from?

✨ LOOK UP TONIGHT! ✨

Tonight, June 16, 2026, skywatchers have a chance to witness a beautiful gathering of four celestial objects in the western sky shortly after sunset.

🌙 A delicate crescent Moon
♀ Brilliant Venus
♃ Bright Jupiter
☿ Elusive Mercury

Venus will shine as the brightest beacon of the evening, with Jupiter glowing nearby. The thin crescent Moon adds a stunning focal point, while Mercury completes the lineup closer to the horizon.

This rare arrangement creates one of the most photogenic sky scenes of the month and can be enjoyed without a telescope.

📍 Look toward the western horizon after sunset.
📸 Bring your camera or smartphone.
🔭 Binoculars can enhance the view.
✨ Find a location with a clear horizon for the best experience.

Moments like these remind us that some of the universe's greatest spectacles are visible simply by stepping outside and looking up.

Why book a stay in the forest? We have returning guests who enjoy riding Jeep roads and ATV trails regularly. Take a ride to watch the sunset over the Ocklawaha at the end of the day. Or… Relax and unwind, watch nature’s critters and their newborns from the porch… a great place to birdwatch. OR… Sit on the covered patio and listen to the rain hit the “tin” roof.
