Stargazer’s guide: Meteors, comets, and a rare Blue Moon this May

May offers a celestial spectacle for stargazers, beginning with the Eta Aquariids meteor shower, though moonlight may dim the view. Look for the green Comet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS with binoculars. Venus and Jupiter will appear to converge in the evening sky. The month concludes with a rare 'blue moon' on May 31, which is also a 'micromoon'.
