What To See In The May Night Sky

There is a conjunction on tap this month that is worth your while if the skies are clear.

And you don't have to stay-up until the wee hours to catch it!

The next couple of evenings are going to feature a trio of our favorite Solar System heavenly bodies - Mars, Venus and a waxing crescent Moon.  

Because the moon will only be four days old it won't wash-out the planets Mars and Venus.  There will be additional stars and constellations in the background too.

All of this should be visible to the naked eye although binoculars will be helpful and a telescope won't hurt if one is available.

Fingers-crossed for clear skies....
