The final week of May brings a beautiful planetary conjunction. In the early dawn sky of May 22nd and 23rd, the moon will closely align with Saturn, Neptune, and Venus in the southeastern sky — a stunning sight that resembles celestial pearls strung across the sky.
On May 22nd, the moon will appear near Saturn, while on the 23rd, it will draw close to Neptune and Venus. With a telescope, observers can view Saturn’s famous rings and Venus’s phase changes in remarkable clarity.
Viewing Tips:
Wake up before 4:00 AM for the best view.
Use a stargazing app to locate the planets in advance.
Attach your camera to a telescope for sharp, multi-object photos.
