Want to know what to look for in the night sky in May? Check out NASA’s Skywatching page for all the things to look for as well as all the information explaining what you see. For example… Early on Thursday evening, May 13, 2021, the planet Mercury will appear about 3 degrees to the right of the thin, waxing crescent Moon. The pair will appear about 8 degrees above the horizon in the west-northwest as evening twilight ends. See if you can spot it.
