Look to the Sky in June for Fun Space Happenings By charguth June 9, 2021 8:34 am clipart.com Cherokee, IA (KICD)– Astronomy lovers will want to keep an eye to the sky throughout the June to see some fun space happenings. The fun begins Thursday morning when part of the country will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, but unfortunately Linda Burkhart, Director of the Sanford Museum and Planetarium in Cherokee, says we are likely going miss this phenomenon in Northwest Iowa. Don’t be discouraged though because those traveling east-northeast of the Des Moines area will start to see bigger sections of the sun involved in the eclipse.
