May skies at night, what a delight! 🤩 Venus rises in the evening sky throughout May, but nearing June, it begins to set lower. It’s gone by late July, but makes a bright return in late August. On May 5, expect a full moon to illuminate your weekend. Before sunrise on May 13, the Moon rises alongside Saturn—a special treat for morning skygazers. The second half of the month is equally pleasant! On May 17, most of the U.S. and Canada may see the Moon appear close to Jupiter in the morning twilight. And after sunset from May 22-24, the Moon, Venus, and Mars will form a trio in the western sky with the Moon appearing sandwiched between the two planets.

The dark sky is a cool shade of blue lightening as it approaches the horizon. Image Credit: NASA/Preston Dyches Video Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech #NASA #Space #Skywatching #Night #Sky #Stars #Moon ...
