Crescent Moon Approaches Mars (evening)

In the western sky after dusk on Saturday, May 31, the reddish dot of Mars
will shine to the upper left (or celestial southeast) of the waxing crescent
moon in their second meeting this month. The pair will be cozy enough to share
the field of view of binoculars. While they descend the western sky until
midnight, the moon's eastward orbital motion will shift it ever closer to the
red planet.
