On May 6, look at your western sky just after sunset. The young moon will be positioned above the red giant star Aldebaran. Aldebaran is the brightest star in Taurus Constellation and generally the fourteenth-brightest star in the night sky. Observers in Europe, Africa, and Asian will see the moon pass through Taurus' face after dusk. On May 7, the waxing crescent moon will land 3.5 degrees to the lower left (south) of reddish Mars. https://www.space.com/33974-best-nigh... The moon is waxing now. That means that, day by day, it’ll be higher up at sunset, a wider lunar crescent that’ll stay out longer after dark. So, if you miss the thin lunar crescent after sunset May 6, try again on May 7 or 8, as the crescent pairs up more closely with Mars. See if you can catch the earthshine lighting up the nighttime side of the moon, with either the unaided eye or binoculars. https://earthsky.org/tonight/young-mo... Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower - Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2sFo... METEORS FROM HALLEY'S COMET: Earth is approaching a stream of debris from Halley's Comet, source of the annual eta Aquariid meteor shower. If forecasters are correct, the shower will peak on May 5th with as many as 40 meteors per hour. The best time to look is during the dark hours before sunrise on Sunday. Eta Aquariids are fast, moving at 66 km/s (148,000 mph), and often trace long bright paths across the sky. http://spaceweather.com/
