As soon as the sun sinks on May 22, enjoy an eye-catching encounter between the moon, Mars, and Venus, three of the closest and brightest neighboring worlds. The shimmering trio will hang in close proximity in the western sky in an arc formation. On May 23 look for the crescent moon to slide in between Venus and Mars. Closer inspection with binoculars will reveal that the moon is also joined by the bright stars Castor and Pollux of the Gemini constellation.
Considered one of the most spectacular annual meteor showers, the Perseids regularly produce up to 60 shooting stars per hour. Every mid-August, Earth slams into a cloud of small debris that was left behind by a comet, which produces a flurry of shooting stars as each little meteor burns up in the atmosphere. This year promises to offer particularly good viewing, since the shower’s peak on the night of August 12 and into the following predawn hours will coincide with a dim, waning crescent moon.
