The Month At-A-Glance
A calendar displaying the daily astronomical events.

(All times are local unless otherwise noted.)

Planetary Highlights for May "Bright planets adorn May's sky from dusk till dawn. Mars appears conspicuous in the west after sundown, an orange-colored interloper making its way from Taurus into Gemini. Before the Red Planet sets, Jupiter rises in the southeast. The giant world remains a beacon until morning twilight brightens the sky. By then, Saturn has climbed highest in the south and Venus gleams low in the east. Not to be outdone, Mercury appears in morning twilight in early May and returns in evening twilight by month's end." Astronomy Magazine, May 2019, p.36.
	Mercury Is in superior conjunction on the 21st. Mercury rises about 5:21 a.m. on the 1st. After the 21st, Mercury returns to the evening sky, setting about 9:32 p.m. by month's end. Look for Mercury low to the east about 30 minutes before sunrise during the first week of May and about 30 minutes after sunset by the last week of May. Mercury moves from the constellation of Pisces into Taurus this month shining at magnitude -1.2 on the 31st.
	Venus Rises at 4:59 a.m. on the 1st and about 4:35 a.m. by month's end. Look for Venus in the southeast about an hour before sunrise. Venus moves from the constellation of Pisces into Pisces shining at magnitude -3.8.
	Earth N/A.
	Mars Sets at 11:12 p.m. on the 1st and about 10:38 p.m. by month's end. Look to the west soon after sunset to spot Mars. Mars moves from the constellation of Taurus into Gemini shining at magnitude 1.7.
	Jupiter Rises at 11:11 p.m. on the 1st and about 8:55 p.m. by month's end. Jupiter is now visible in the late evening and early morning skies before sunrise. Jupiter is in the constellation of Ophiuchus shining at magnitude -2.5.
	Saturn Rises at 1:06 a.m. on the 1st and about 10:57 p.m. by month's end. Look for Saturn to the south about an hour before sunrise. Saturn is in the constellation of Sagittarius shining at magnitude 0.4.
	Uranus Has returned to the morning sky this month, rising at 5:43 a.m. on the 1st and about 3:46 a.m. by month's end. Look for Uranus to the east about 30 minutes to an hour before sunrise. Wait until after midmonth to spot Uranus though, as it will still be lost in the early morning twilight. Uranus is in the constellation of Aries shining at magnitude 5.9.
	Neptune Rises at 3:57 a.m. on the 1st and about 1:57 a.m. by month's end. Look for Neptune about an hour before sunrise to the east. Neptune is in the constellation of Aquarius shining at magnitude 7.9.
	Dwarf Planets
	Ceres Is at opposition on the 28th, rising as the Sun sets. Ceres rises at 10:04 p.m. on the 1st and about 7:39 p.m. by month's end. Ceres can be spotted low to the east in late evening and to the south in the early morning hours before sunrise. Ceres moves from the constellation Ophiuchus into Scorpius shining at magnitude 7.3.
	Pluto Rises at 1:17 a.m. on the 1st and about 11:11 p.m. by month's end. Pluto continues to trail Saturn by about 15 to 20 minutes all month, which may aid in spotting this elusive planet. Pluto is in the constellation of Sagittarius shining at magnitude 14.3. As always, good luck at spotting Neptune, Ceres and Pluto, a large telescope and dark skies will be needed.

Astronomical Events

	Meteor Showers The Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower - This shower is visible during the period of April 21 to May 12. It reaches maximum on May 5. During the period of greatest activity hourly rates usually reach 20 for observers in the northern hemisphere and 50 for observers in the southern hemisphere. This year, the Eta Aquarids peak before dawn on the 6th, under a moonless sky. Meteor Shower Radiant Report For more information about Meteor Showers, visit Gary Kronk's Meteor Showers Online web page. Meteor Scatter (or Meteor burst communications) - "is a radio propagation mode that exploits the ionized trails of meteors during atmospheric entry to establish brief communications paths between radio stations up to 2,250 kilometres (1,400 mi) apart." Tune your shortwave or your HF amateur radio to 54.310 MHz SSB and see if you can hear any pings. Try other frequencies as well... 6m FT8 digital - 50.313 Mhz & 50.276 Mhz, JP-65 digital mode and the carrier frequencies of the lower VHF bands for TV channels 2, 3 & 4.
	Comets Comet C/2017 M4 (ATLAS) may glow around 13th magnitude as it passes through the constellations of Scorpius and Lupus this month. Observers will need a large telescope (10 inches or larger) to find Comet Atlas highest in the south between 2 and 3 a.m. during the first two weeks of May. For information, orbital elements and ephemerides on observable comets, visit the Observable Comets page from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
