The Eta Aquarid meteor shower brings shooting stars before dawn, the Moon meets brilliant Venus after sunset, and May wraps up with a rare Blue Moon. Look to the early morning sky around May 5 to 6 for meteors from Halley’s Comet, though bright moonlight may wash out some of the fainter streaks. Then on May 18, spot the crescent Moon near Venus low in the western sky just after sunset.May ends with a Full Moon on May 31. It is a Blue Moon, meaning the second full moon in a single calendar month, but it will not actually look blue.
