May has arrived, and with it comes warmer evenings, vibrant landscapes in full bloom, and a night sky packed with incredible sights to enjoy. Whether you're setting up a telescope, grabbing a pair of binoculars, or simply stepping outside to look up, there's plenty to see this month.
In this episode, we’ll explore some of the highlights of the May night sky: Which planets are visible this month, when and where to look for them. We'll spotlight one of the Moon’s most breathtaking and detailed features, examine a meteor shower, a comet and then we’ll take a tour through one of the sky’s most underrated, but rich constellations.
