FINALLY, noctilucent clouds have been spotted from the UK. So, any clear night from now until the end of July, keep an eye on the northern sky around midnight. If you see any swirls, curls, billows or streamers of silvery blue and white light you've spotted the elusive NLC.

Jupiter and Venus are now shining close together in the north west after sunset. Venus, on the right, is by far the brighter of the two.

The International Space Station is in the evening sky again. Here are the times for the passes for the coming week: June 11: 00.44 and 23.50; June 12: 22.57; June 13: 23.41; June 14: 22.47.

Remember, you're looking for a bright star rising up from the horizon, shining with a steady light as it drifts slowly from west to east.
