What to look out, and up, for in May.
This month we take a look at the constellation Ursa Major for the beginners guide – we'll point you in the direction of an unaided eye binary star and a few of the brightest galaxies in the entire northern hemisphere sky.
Next we round up the planets that are visible in May: Mercury (early in the month), Venus, Jupiter & Saturn later on. We take a look at Comet Lovejoy as it's still visible in small telescopes, and the Lyrids in the low eastern morning sky. For our deep sky challenge we take you on a tour of Hercules' magnificent globular clusters and a couple of overlooked galaxies.
