NASA is back with its monthly roundup up of celestial treats to spy in the sky. So let’s dive straight in.
NASA notes that this will be the only opportunity to see a planet with the naked-eye in the early evening until August, so be sure not to miss this excellent chance. The visible part of the eclipse will start at around 10:30 p.m. U.S. ET on May 15. Totality will begin about an hour later and continue for an hour and a half.
Coma star cluster Speaking of binoculars and telescopes, if you have either of these handy then this month offers a great chance to view the Coma star cluster.
