Rising through a billowing cloud of smoke, a Delta II rocket left Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on June 11, 2008. Snug in the payload section was GLAST, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope.

In tropical astrology, 11 JUN 2018 falls under Gemini (♊). The sign's window runs from 05-21 through 06-20. Gemini is named for the twin stars Castor and Pollux, both bright enough to spot without a telescope. The Sun was crossing this region of the sky on 11 JUN 2018.
