In May, Jupiter sinks into the sunset, ending a months-long guest starring role with the bright winter constellations. Those, too, are disappearing into the sun’s afterglow. But Mars lingers, drifting on a course toward Regulus, the brightest star in Leo, the lion. Mars is getting pretty dim, but can be located close below the moon at nightfall on the 3rd. The moon revisits Mars on the 31st, when the planet is rather low in the west. kAmqC:==:2?E pC4EFCFD[ E96 3C:89E6DE DE2C :?

In April the iconic stars of Orion and other famous winter constellations drop westward as they begin their annual exit from the evening sky. In the early part of the month, look to the west at nightfall for the constellation that topped the wintry array of bright stars. This is Auriga, the charioteer, a polygon of stars set off by brilliant Capella. Capella now shines above Jupiter, the brightest object in the evening sky after the moon.
