f you go out tonight (May 14) about half an hour after sunset and have clear weather, you will see a number of bright objects in the sky. The brightest of these celestial lights are four of five planets visible to the naked eye this month, with the full moon completing the view — a sight you won’t want to miss.
To begin our planet parade in May’s night sky, let’s look low in the northwest. There you can find the tiny speck of Mercury, never far from the sun. You may need a binocular to spot it.
