05 June 2026 – CAPE COD, MA – Did you miss the Cape Cod meteor? Catch up on it here!
That’s right! Between the surprise meteor splash-down, the rise in solar flare activity, and a planetary conjunction between Venus and Jupiter, the Cape Cod skies are packed with activity.
We reached out to meteorologist Danielle Noyes of 1DegreeOutside for some insight on last weeks’ big boom, Cape Cod Bay’s newest underground rock bits, and whether Northern Lights will be dancing on the horizon.
And even if we aren’t graced with the right conditions for an aurora, the impending “kiss” between Venus and Jupiter puts on a brilliant planetary show of its own.
