Sadly, it was cloudy around here last night when there would have been a beautiful view of a full blue Moon, Mars near opposition, and Saturn all bunched together in the southern sky. Mars will still be bright and beautiful for another few weeks and on May 30 it will reach its closest approach to the Earth since 2005. Hopefully, the clouds will depart for a few days as will the haze from the Canadian forest fires that are covering parts of the Northeast and I can get some images of Mars for you over the next few weeks. Until then, go outside and check out the view for yourself or enjoy this fantastic view of Mars from the Hubble Space Telescope.
