Also on May 15, the waxing crescent Moon will appear in the west-northwest to the lower right of Mars, with the pair setting around midnight. By May 16 into May 17, the waxing crescent Moon will have shifted to appear to the lower left of the bright star Pollux, with the pair setting about 3. Beginning May 19, the bright planet Venus will join Mercury above the horizon in the west-northwest as evening twilight ends.

On May 23 into May 24, the waxing gibbous Moon will appear about 7 degrees to the left of the bright star Spica, with Spica setting first on May 24 at around a.

By the evening of Wednesday, May 26, , the day of the full Moon after next, as evening twilight ends at p. EDT , the brightest planet visible will be Venus, appearing only 1 degree above the horizon in the west-northwest.

To the upper left of Venus will be the planet Mercury, appearing 3 degrees above the horizon. The planet Mars, slightly brighter than Mercury, will appear 23 degrees above the west-northwestern horizon. The constellation Ursa Major, also known as the Big Dipper, will appear in the north close to nearly overhead. No bright star will appear close to overhead, with the closest being Arcturus at 62 degrees above the southeastern horizon. Several meteor showers will peak during this lunar cycle, although this year conditions do not look promising for seeing these meteors from our area.

The annual Lyrid meteor shower is expected to peak early in the morning on Thursday, April 22, The light of the waxing gibbous Moon will interfere with the visibility of these meteors, which under ideal conditions which we don't have this year might be expected to produce about 18 visible meteors per hour. On the morning of April 22, the Moon will set about 30 minutes before any sign of dawn begins to show in the east at a.

EDT, respectively, so there will be only a short window without light interference. These meteors are caused by debris from Comet Thatcher entering our atmosphere at , miles per hour 49 kilometers per second. Moonlight interference will be even worse for the less predictable Pi-Puppid meteor shower, expected to peak the next morning, Friday, April 23, These meteors are caused by debris from Comet Grigg—Skjellerup.

The annual Eta-Aquariid meteor shower is expected to be active from April 19 through May 28, peaking the morning of May 6, From the Southern Hemisphere and under ideal conditions, this meteor shower tends to peak at rates from 40 to 85 visible meteors per hour. However, the Washington area is on the northern edge of the latitudes from which we can see these meteors. This and the relatively short time between the rising of the radiant the area in the sky from which these meteors appear to radiate out from and when morning twilight begins will make these meteors hard to see.

These meteors are caused by debris from Halley's Comet entering our atmosphere at , miles per hour 66 kilometers per second. Here is a more detailed, day-by-day listing of celestial events between now and the full Moon after next. Tuesday evening, April 20, , will be the first evening that the bright planet Venus will be just barely above the horizon in the west-northwest 30 minutes after sunset an approximation of when Venus will start becoming visible in the evening sky.

Even though they are not usually visible, I include in these Moon missives information about Near Earth Objects, mostly asteroids, that may pass the Earth within 5 lunar distances, because I find it interesting that we have discovered so many. On Tuesday evening, April 20, , at p. Wednesday evening into Thursday morning, April 21 to 22, , the bright star Regulus will appear near the waxing gibbous Moon.

Regulus will be about 8 degrees to the lower left as evening twilight ends at p. EDT when the Moon will be near its highest in the sky for the evening. The pair will appear to shift closer together and reach about 6 degrees apart as Regulus sets in the west-northwest Thursday morning at a.

Sometime in mid-April Apr UTC with 4 days, 17 hours, 5 minutes uncertainty , Near-Earth Object HA , between 8 and 17 meters 25 to 56 feet across, will pass the Earth at between 0. On the morning of Monday, April 26, , as morning twilight begins at a. EDT, the bright planet Jupiter will appear 18 degrees above the southeastern horizon with the fainter planet Saturn to the upper right at 23 degrees above the southeastern horizon.

The bright star appearing nearly overhead will be Vega, one of the three stars in the Summer Triangle, at about 87 degrees above the eastern horizon. Vega is about 25 light-years from Earth and is the 5th brightest star in our night sky. As the lunar cycle progresses, the background of stars and planets will appear to shift towards the west each morning.

As mentioned above, the next full Moon will be on Monday night, April 26, , appearing opposite the Sun at p. The Moon will appear full for about 3 days around this time, from Sunday evening through Wednesday morning.

Since the Moon will be at its fullest less than 12 hours before perigee when the Moon is at its closest to the Earth in its orbit , this will be a supermoon.

We currently divide the year into four seasons based upon the solstices and equinoxes, with summer starting on the summer solstice in June.

This approximates summer as the quarter of the year with the warmest temperatures. Much of pre-Christian northern Europe celebrated "cross-quarter days" halfway between the solstices and equinoxes, dividing the seasons on these days. Using this older definition, summer was the quarter of the year with the longest daily periods of daylight, starting on Beltane, traditionally celebrated on May 1st the middle of our spring. Many of the European May Day traditions trace back to these earlier celebrations of the start of summer.
