An enormous 'X' and 'V' will grace the moon's surface on July 2. Here's how to see them
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The nights surrounding the first quarter moon phase on July 2 present a good opportunity to spot colossal 'X' and 'V' features emblazoned on the lunar surface. This month's first quarter phase occurs at 11:41 p.m. EDT on July 2 (0341 GMT on July 3), at which time the right side of the half-lit lunar disk will be illuminated by direct sunlight from the perspective of viewers in the northern hemisphere on Earth. At this time, the sun shines at such an angle to make it appear as if there is a gigantic 'V' and 'X' marking the barren lunar surface. This kind of phenomenon is referred to as a 'clair-obscur' effect and occurs when the interplay between light and shadow leads to the chance formation of familiar shapes on the moon's craggy terrain. The lunar letters are visible for roughly four hours in the run-up to each first quarter moon phase and are at their most impressive when seen just on the 'night' side of the terminator, with their upper reaches kissed by the sun's light. Try and find the lunar 'X' and 'V' on the lunar disk at sunset on July 2 and be sure to keep checking back to see how these shapes evolve over time. If you miss the letters on the night side of the terminator, there's no need to lose hope, as they'll continue to be visible for a brief period after they pass to the 'day side' of the moon. The lunar X is an optical effect formed when sunlight strikes elevated rim sections of the Bianchini, Purbach and La Caille Craters around the first quarter moon phase, according to stargazing website The feature can be found around 25 degrees south of the lunar equator close to the terminator, which is the line separating the dayside and nightside of the moon, close to the prominent Werner and Aliacensis Craters. To find the lunar 'V', moongazers must follow the line of the terminator up to a point less than 10 degrees above the lunar equator to find the partially shadowed form of the Ukert Crater. Both objects can be spotted through a small backyard telescope with a 6-inch aperture, though a larger scope will help resolve detail in the myriad craters and broken terrain dotting the surrounding moonscapes. TOP TELESCOPE PICK Want to see the lunar X and V? The Celestron NexStar 4SE is ideal for beginners wanting quality, reliable and quick views of celestial objects. For a more in-depth look at our Celestron NexStar 4SE review. Stargazers interested in exploring the lunar surface should check out our guides to the best telescopes and binoculars available in 2025. Photographers interested in capturing the moon's surface should also read our roundup of the best cameras and lenses for astrophotography. This article was updated at 3:10 a.m. EDT (0810 GMT) on July 2 to change 'June 2' to the correct date of 'July 2'. Editor's Note: If you capture a picture of the letters on the moon and want to share it with readers, then please send your photo(s), comments, and your name and location to spacephotos@

Stock Market Today: S&P 500, Nasdaq fade from records; Trump-Canada trade dispute flares
Stock Market Today: S&P 500, Nasdaq fade from records; Trump-Canada trade dispute flares originally appeared on TheStreet. Updated 4:32 p.m. EDT Stocks closed at record highs on Friday, despite President Trump's threat to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods. The benchmark gained 0.52% to hit a fresh high of 6,187.68, up from the S&P's previous record of 6,147.43, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq, which also hit an all-time high, advanced 0.52%% to close at 20,273.46. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 432 points, or 1%, to end the day at 43,819.27. Updated 3:15 p.m. EDT Trade fights erupt yet again. And the day's big stock-market rally has lost its mojo. The dispute is between the Trump administration and the Dominion of Canada. The president called off trade talks with Canada over what he called an "egregious" tax. In this case, Canada's new digital services tax, set to take effect on Monday. Now, Trump is threatening to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods. The announcement, which appeared in a Truth Social post, serious trimmed a big gain in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and turned gains in the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq-100 indexes into small losses. At 3:15 p.m. EDT the S&P 500 was up 5 points to 6,146 after hitting a 52-week high of 6,187.68 at 12:30 p.m. The Nasdaq Composite is actually down 1 points to 20,167, down from its high of 20,162, and the Nasdaq-100's gain has faded to a loss of 7 points at 21,240 after reaching an all-time high 2,603.22 Not to be outdone, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was still up a healthy 255 points to 43,642, but that was down from its intraday high of 43,966. It's off 4.3% from its all-time high of 45,704, reached on Dec. 4. Updated 2:30 p.m. EDT It's midafternoon, and, in some cultures, time for a nap. Well, the stock market is still higher, but it has dropped back a bit from its big highs right after the open. Maybe a few folks are taking a break. At 2:30 p.m. EDT, the S&P 500 was up 7 points to 6,148 after hitting a 52-week high of 6,187.68 at 12:30 p.m. The Nasdaq Composite is actually down 19 points to 20,149, down from its high of 20,312, and the Nasdaq-100's gain has faded to a loss of 4 points at 22,440 after reaching an all-time high 2,603.22 Not to be outdone, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was still up a healthy 329 points to 43,718, but that was down from its intraday high of 43,966. It's off 4.3% from its all-time high of 45,704, reached on Dec. 4. We note — to inject a little caution into today's exuberance — the following: A total of 55 stocks in the S&P 500 on this Friday were sporting relative strength indexes of 70 or more. For some, that's a high number. Relative strength is a popular measure to gauge if a stock is too high. A reading above 70 suggests a stock is overbought. Above 75 suggests it's at or near a top. Above 80, it's definitely over the top. Jabil Circuit () currently spots an RSI of 90, which means it's vulnerable. Microsoft () , which reached nearly to $500, has an RSI of 80. Goldman Sachs () has an RSI of nearly at 81. The Street Pro's Bob Lang noted the market exuberance, too, and added: "The Nasdaq is in full bull mode right now, with very strong momentum that is just not letting up. The parabolic move from the April lows is quite extraordinary, but an overbought condition can smack the bulls hard if you're not careful." And he added, "I am not saying it is time to cut and run; we know stocks will move much more than expected and with the strong tailwind from momentum that makes it very likely, but if you're so inclined, then adding some puts for protection would be prudent (and cheap, with VIX at 16%)." Jay Woods of Freedom Capital Markets was less worried. The market, he said in a note, "doesn't seem overbought across the board, and overbought is not always a bad thing." Updated 12:03 p.m. EDT Buyers came to the market. They saw that stock prices were higher. And they bought more stocks. They bought because the Standard & Poor's 500 Index hit new highs. The Nasdaq Composite hit new highs. The Nasdaq-100 Index hit new highs. The Dow Jones industrials were up more than 400 points. They bought because consumer just maybe are not so freaked as they were in April when President Trump's trade proposal unnerved so many. They bought because they interest rates may be headed lower. They bought because the Middle East is calming down. And with just Friday and Monday left in the quarter, the second quarter is proving a big-time winner. At 11:55 a.m. EDT, the S&P 500 was up 35 points to 6,184.61, just below its new 52-week high of 6,184.73. The Nasdaq Composite had added 139 points to 20,303, and the Nasdaq-100 surged 149 points to 22,596. Not to be outdone, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 480 points to 43,867, still roughly 2.8% below its all-time high of 45,702. The market was seeing winners all over the place with big gains seen among stocks like Nike () , up more than 15, Taiwan Semiconductor () Doordash () , Netflix () , and banks. Doesn't matter if you're talking about JPMorgan Chase () or Northern Trust () . Updated 10:10 a.m. EDT Stocks shot higher at the open on Friday as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index broke through to new highs, recovering 100% of its losses after its Feb. 19 peak. The Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq-100 indexes hit new 52-week highs, too. Microsoft () and Nvidia () reached new 52-week highs, but crypto-exchange giant Coinbase () slid back after hitting a new high on Thursday. At 10:20 a.m. EDT, the S&P 500 was up 35 points to 6,176. The Nasdaq Composite had added 127 points to 20,295, and the Nasdaq-100 surged 145 points to 22,592. Not to be outdone, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 314 points to 43,701, still 4.6% below its all-time high of 45,702. Its 0.8% gain on the day was larger than those of the other indexes. Catalysts are a possible trade deal with China and India as well, lower corporate taxes on corporations and the possibility the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates later this year. Stocks appear set to continue higher today based on three main factors: A trade deal with China appears to be close (and maybe with India, too) The tax bill would lower taxes on corporations and increase their profits Fed rate cuts in 2025 The Fed's preferred gauge of inflation, the PCE, or Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, was reported this morning. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, May's PCE rose 0.1%, and 2.3% year-over-year, in line with expectations. However, Personal Income and Personal Spending were weaker than expected, dropping 0.4% and 0.3%. How did stock futures react? They dropped but remain higher on the day. Overall, stock futures are higher, bonds are mixed, and gold is lower. Crude continues to bounce around the $65 level we've been discussing all week. Later this morning, the University of Michigan will release its Consumer Sentiment index.

Dolce & Gabbana's ‘perfect for everyday' perfume has been slashed by 50%
LookFantastic has slashed the price of a Dolce & Gabbana fragrance shoppers are calling 'perfect for everyday' by 50%, but only for a limited time Finding a signature fragrance that is subtle enough for everyday use, but also long-lasting and strong enough to make an impact is no mean feat. However, shoppers think they have found the ultimate daily fragrance with Dolce & Gabbana's L'Imperatrice Eau de Toilette Spray. And we've found where you can shop it for 50% off. LookFantastic always offers some amazing deals, but this one is one of their best, knocking down the EDT from £66 to £33. If you love fresh and fruity scents, this perfume will be right up your street. Striking the perfect balance bewteen fruity and floral, this summer-in-a-bottle fragrance features notes of rhubarb, red currant, kiwi, and watermelon giving it a sharp, summery twist. These notes are followed up with base notes of sandalwood, soft musk and grapefruit, which creates a warmer, muskier scent. The result? A confident and feminine scent that is perfect for everyday use, especially in the summertime. Shoppers have been sharing their delight with this purchase, praising the "fresh and clean" fragrance. One happy shopper wrote: "This fragrance has quickly become one of my favourites. From the first spritz, you're greeted with a lively burst of juicy kiwi, crisp rhubarb, and watery watermelon it's fresh, playful, and instantly uplifting ". While a second added: "Top note for me is watermelon but it's a really nice perfume for everyday and for layering with others." The overriding criticism, however, was down to its lasting power, which a few shoppers claimed was not the best. One shopper said: "It's a pleasant scent with a hint of watermelon. It doesn't last as long as an eau de perfume, but is a nice scent for summer". As mentioned, the longevitiy is not quite as long as this fragrance is an Eau De Toilette rather than an Eau De Parfum. If you're looking for more fragrance offers Estée Lauder's Cinnabar Eau De Parfum has been praised by shoppers for being 'beautifully oriental and enchanting', and it's currently reduced on Amazon in a limited time offer. Originally priced at £49 on Amazon, but £70 on the Estée Lauder wesbite, a flash sale sees this fragrance drop down to £39. While my personal favourite YSL perfum is the Dua Lipa-fronted Libre, also on sale for £57.60 down from £72.
