See Halley’s Comet Meteor Shower As Venus Climbs: Night Sky This Week

May’s skywatching highlight is the Eta Aquariid meteor shower, peaking around May 5–6 and linked to Halley’s Comet.

Venus becomes easier to spot after sunset as it brightens in the evening sky.

The Moon moves into darker phases, improving conditions for stargazing and meteor viewing.

Later in the month, the Moon will make close approaches with Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter.
