Look south within the early morning sky on Might 24 and also you’ll see these two celestial our bodies coming inside 0.4° of one another — excellent for a binocular view or perhaps a low-power, wide-field view together with your Celestron telescope.
For the entire motion in Might’s skies, take a look at Sky this Month from our May issue, written by Martin Ratcliffe and Alister Ling.
