Change is coming to our evening sky. The bright planet Venus now captivating viewers is going to drop out of view in the next month.
Venus is high in the western sky after sunset, as high as it will get in the evening sky. Pay attention and you’ll notice each night ahead. It will appear lower. By the end of May it will have dropped from view.
If you are up late at night you’ll see two of the solar system’s largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, appear together low in the eastern sky. Jupiter is the brighter of the two.
You’ll see them rise together around midnight. They are in the zodiacal constellation Capricornus. If you are up later, in the wee hours of morning, you’ll see the bright red planet Mars east of the two.
Jupiter and Saturn will steal the show this summer and get plenty of attention, while Venus will be a morning planet.
