NGC 4535, nicknamed the “Lost Galaxy” by poet Leland S. Copeland due to its hazy
appearance, is the largest galaxy in the Virgo Cluster, 50 million light-years
from the sun. Younger, hotter blue stars are on the periphery, while older,
cooler yellow stars populate the galaxy’s central bulge. (ESA/Hubble & NASA, J.

The sheer abundance of nighttime sights this May cannot be overstated. The
skywatcher’s flower basket is laden with compelling planetary and stellar
symmetries, galaxies and galactic clusters, meteor showers and a lunar eclipse.

Daniel Zantzinger / Skywatcher’s Guide

A total lunar eclipse will be visible from 8:28 p.m. until 11:56 p.m. May 15.
Look to the eastern horizon at 8 p.m. as the full moon rises. Totality will be
from 9:29 p.m. until 10:54 p.m. Look for a special Skywatcher’s Guide on May 14
for details.

As has been the case for months, five planets — four naked eye and one
telescope-dependent — will continue to appear as intriguing lines and pairings
in the hours before dawn. Look east-southeast at 5 a.m. Sunday to observe, from
the left, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter and Venus lined up in a straight incline. All
four can be found higher each morning and rising ever earlier into the dark
skies, swiftly changing configurations.

Magnitude ˗4.1 Venus and magnitude ˗2.11 Jupiter start the month in tight
proximity. By May 12, the two will have spread out evenly, again joined by Mars.
Watch father law sprint away from the goddess of love to form a tight
conjunction with the god of war; the two pair within 0.6 degree of one another
May 29.



During the May’s first two weeks, look between Mars and Jupiter with a telescope
to find bright azure-blue colored Neptune, dimly gleaming at magnitude +7.81.
May 18 is a good morning to easily spot Neptune when it’s a mere half degree
above Mars.

Magnitude +0.79 Saturn rises by 2 a.m. and is high in the southeast before dawn.
The second largest planet abandons its compatriots to take up with 4 Vesta, a
minor planet and the second largest asteroid. To spot magnitude +7.44 Vesta,
you’ll need a small telescope to find it due south of the ringed planet in
Constellation Capricornus, the sea goat chimera.

Look for the International Space Station (ISS/ZARYA) speeding by the planets at
precisely 4 a.m. May 12, 14 and 16.

Constellation Virgo, the furrow, is one of the oldest constellations, going back
before recorded history. Since time immemorial, its asterism has been identified
with nearly every powerful female deity in ancient Western civilizations.

Around 1300, the constellation got a drastic makeover, instead becoming
representative of a virgin maiden. The antecedent mythologies and legends,
however, do not corroborate this interpretation. Sumerians/Babylonians cast
Inanna/Ishtar in the role, the ancient Greeks tell us of Demeter, the Egyptians
saw Isis. These goddess are self-possessed, womanly manifestations of fertility,
harvest, vitality, fecundity, the plowed furrow and certainly not of naïveté or
chastity.



Spring is the season for galaxies particularly because Virgo culminates on the
meridian 9 p.m. May 25 and reaches its highest point in the sky for the year.
Virgo’s claim to fame is its many deep sky objects, most notably the Virgo
Cluster of galaxies.

The Virgo Cluster is a mix of about 1,500 elliptical and spiral galaxies, dozens
of which are magnitude +12.5 and brighter and within the reach of many amateur
telescopes. This relatively small cluster is the heart of the larger Virgo
Supercluster, a filamentous assemblage of at least 100,000 galaxies, which
itself is a member of the incomprehensibly enormous Laniakea Supercluster.

Many important discoveries have been made in Virgo, including the identification
of 3C 273, the first quasar (an extremely active galactic nucleus); NGC 4639, an
elliptical galaxy whose supernova is used to calibrate cosmic distances; M87, a
famed radio source elliptical galaxy with trillions of stars and hundreds of
globular clusters; the magnitude +8.0 Sombrero galaxy whose core houses the
nearest billion-solar-mass black hole to Earth; and NGC 4535, the Lost Galaxy in
the heart of the Virgo Cluster. Virgo provided gravitational waves from the
collision of two neutron stars 130 million light years distant whose detection
provided further confirmation of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

With the exception of the Milky Way and Andromeda, none of the galaxies in Virgo
are visible to the naked eye. Notwithstanding, this fact is not an obstacle to
skywatchers living in the golden age of astronomy. Although there are many
factors to consider such as light pollution and optic coatings, a telescope with
an excess of 6-inch diameter is your ticket to some of spring’s most awe
inspiring vistas.

To determine your telescope’s precise needs, visit cruxis.com/scope/. If you are
currently without a telescope, use such outstanding open sources as
webbtelescope.org/; nasa.gov/; and eso.org/.

Constellation Corvus, the raven or crow and a herald of springtime, culminates 9
p.m. May 10, low above the southern horizon. Use binoculars to find the compact
yet appealing four-star geometric box shape.

May, like every other month, has meteor showers that are usually ignored because
of their underwhelming performance. Nevertheless, some in May are worthy of
note.

The Eta Aquariids radiate from the Water Jug of Aquarius low in the east and
peak around 2 a.m. May 6. The 10-30 meteors per hour originally “spalled” from
the nucleus of the famed periodic Halley’s Comet, last seen in 1986 and expected
to return 2061. Aquariids are quick, breaking the tape at an astounding 147,638
mph and often leaving persistent trains. Although the peak is brief, the
Aquariids have a decent maximum duration from May 3-9.

From May 22 until July 2, the Earth passes through a dense concentration of two
meteoroid streams that produce the Arietid meteor shower of up to 60 meteors per
hour. The problem is that most of this shower’s activity is during the day.
What’s more, they radiate directly from Constellation Aries at the same time the
sun is there. This challenge is, however, the most prolific daytime meteor
shower of the year. So if you think that you might have seen a meteor in the
middle of the day, it’s entirely possible that you did.

The full moon is at 10:14 p.m. May 15, and is called the Full Flower Moon.
