Tonight in Plymouth, a delicate 5.5% waxing crescent Moon graces the sky, setting the stage for some great planet-spotting before dawn! Early risers can catch Venus, Mercury, Saturn, and Neptune low on the horizon just before sunrise, while Mars and Jupiter offer bright views after sunset. Keep an eye out in May for two special lunar encounters: the Moon will cozy up to Mars around May 3–4, and later, align with Venus and Saturn around May 23. Sunset is at 7:39 pm, with twilight fading by 8:46 pm—perfect timing for an evening of stargazing!
