Eye on the Night Sky
Saturday, May 30, 2026
Today:
Just before 9 o’clock, reprising a scene from early this month, the Moon is just one day shy of being Full as it rises in the company of the red star Antares in the twilight, coming into view as the sky darkens from 9:00 to 9:30 PM. Like earlier this month, the Moon’s orbit shifts it slowly east, while the spinning Earth sends it west, cresting low in the south about a half hour after midnight.
