Tonight's Sky: May 2023 (Northern Hemisphere)

Tonight's Sky: May 2023 (Northern Hemisphere)

In May 2023, we are looking away from the crowded, dusty plane of our own galaxy toward a region where the sky is brimming with distant galaxies. Locate Virgo to find a concentration of roughly 2,000 galaxies and search for Coma Berenices to identify many more. Keep watching for space-based views of galaxies like the Sombrero Galaxy, M87, and M64.

About this Series
