Each year the Space Alien revels on Midsummer Night, an evening observed with festivities in many lands around the time of the summer solstice which in 2021 falls on June 20.
Unfortunately COVID-19 may put a damper on these events where the Space Alien once played to huge and wildly appreciative audiences.
If you are not familiar with this play, there are many online information sources and even productions. The Space Alien hopes you will will use this extra daylight to examine them!

June 8, 1625 was the birthday of Giovanni Domenico Cassini, the famous astronomer who, among many other things, discovered the satellites and rings of Saturn.

On June 19th the Space Alien will mark Juneteenth, the anniversary of the day in 1865 when Union Soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to announce the end of the Civil War and slavery. The Space Alien will study these websites and other sources and consider the meaning of this day.
