The new moon of May occurs on May 26 .

Two days later the moon will make a close pass to Jupiter in the evening sky.

The longer days of the Northern Hemisphere late spring and summer months start to become apparent.

The sun sets at 8:16 p.m. in New York , according to the U.S. Naval Observatory .

In mid-northern latitudes, late May is when the days get significantly longer than in the spring .

In New York City astronomical twilight, when the sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon and the last of the daylight disappears, ends at 10:15 p.m. In the East, Vega , the bright star of Lyra , is about 30 degrees high.

Ophiuchus can be recognized by a long, almost rectangular pentagon of medium-to-faint stars that extends above Scorpius .

In mid-southern latitudes can see Scorpius in the east-southeast, with Antares about 15 degrees above the horizon.

Alpha Centauri , also called Rigil Kentaurus , is our nearest stellar neighbor.
