![]() All month - Saturn leads Jupiter into the new day.The pair will appear a bit lower in the sky each night. All month - Mars and Venus draw nearer each evening in the western sky following sunset.The situation is reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, where it's the shortest day of the year, during the cool months of winter. For the north, it's the longest day of the year, as the Sun traces its highest, longest path across the sky. June 21 – The crescent Moon makes a lovely grouping with Venus and Mars tonight.Look for the Red Planet in the west after dark, where binoculars or a small telescope will reveal a backdrop of glittering stars in this open star cluster. June 1-2 – Mars is in the Beehive Cluster (M44). ![]() Plus, what makes the Southern Hemisphere sky unique? skies, and the Moon occults Jupiter for the Western U.S. Jupiter can be seen near the eastern horizon in Aries at the end of the month and when using a telescope Neptune is visible just above the horizon in the morning in the constellation Pisces, with about an hour to observe the planet, the report said.We've reached "peak Venus" in the p.m. However, the less bright Mars is high in the western sky in Gemini and moves to Cancer later this month. On its way to the greatest elongation in June, the planet shines brighter each month. In the evening, Venus is visible above the western horizon in Taurus at the beginning of the month and in Gemini at the end, Star Walk explains. Skywatchers in the northern hemisphere will have Mercury visible in the morning sky in the Aries constellation until the end of the month as well as Saturn in Aquarius the early morning hours. Skywatchers in the northern hemisphere will have Mercury visible in the morning sky in the Aries constellation until the end of the month. However, once again the peak occurs just a few days after the full moon, so it might not happen - if the moon spoils the view, the report added. "However, observers from the tropics and Southern Hemisphere are advised to watch the Eta-Aquariids anyway, as enhanced activity is expected and the shower might produce around 120 meteors per hour, which is twice the usual."įollowing just a few days later the Eta-Lyrids' meteor is set to peak on May 10 in the northern hemisphere. That said, the full moon, which occurs on the same night, will likely wash out the meteors, the report said. The Eta-Aquariid meteor shower will reach its peak on May 6, according to StarWalk Astronomical News. Two meteor showers are also reaching their peak in May. Gabriel Gonzalez (noctografia) //Getty Images/500px Meteor Showers: "This kind of eclipse is very subtle and those in the regions that can see it will most likely notice that the moon appears a little bit darker, as long as the night skies are clear," the Time and Date report added. This is where the moon passes through the light, the outer part of Earth’s shadow, called the penumbra. "Every lunar eclipse begins and ends with a penumbral stage," the report said. The Scorpio moon will pass into Earth’s shadow, known as a penumbra, according to Time and Date. The penumbral lunar eclipse is following the total solar eclipse, that occurred in April. This month's full moon is in the zodiac sign of Scorpio and will immediately will follow the penumbral lunar eclipse on May 6. May will kick off with a full "flower" moon on Friday, May 5, and will peak at 1:36 p.m.
