May you have clear skies for viewing
Stargazers will get a treat for the rest of this month as Mars making its closest approach to Earth on May 30th.
But, there is much more for skywatchers.
“Mars is getting close to what’s called ‘opposition,’ when it rises at the sunset, but Jupiter is a very visible object right now,†Bing Quock with the Morrison Planetarium told KCBS.
“If you pay attention to where Mars is, Saturn’s not too far from that part of the sky either,†Quock said.
“We’ve got three of the most interesting planets visible in the early evening sky right now,†Quock said.
