Clear skies and a quarter moon make for a lovely evening of sky gazing. The moon has pulled away from bright Venus and is approaching Mars but is still one night away from its closest encounter this cycle. Jupiter is too close to the horizon to be easily seen, ducking directly behind the sun on May 13 but returning in late May as a morning star. Saturn, hanging with Spica in Virgo, rises quickly into the evening sky and will get the moon flyby on May 3rd & 4th. There is fine ring viewing in telescopes!!
Hope for clear skies for the June 5th, 6pm-ish start to Venus' last transit of the sun for 105 years.
Go out and look!!
