What To See in the May Night Sky

Tomorrow evening look for a waxing crescent moon situated betwixt Betelgeuse and Capella.

Betelgeuse is a bright red giant and is the brightest star in the constellation Orion the Hunter.  Capella is in the constellation Auriga the Charioteer.  Both will be visible up to midnight.

It you have good viewing conditions look for earthshine on the unlit portion of the moon.
