There are some sweet space photos to be had this month,

NASA has released a guide to the night sky for May with the main opportunities for astrophotographers coming from planets rising in proximity to the Moon.

Next up, on May 17, photographers will get the chance to capture an extremely slim crescent Moon that will rise roughly an hour before the Sun. For observers in Western states, Jupiter will be behind the Moon in occultation as the pair rise together, but Jupiter will emerge from behind the Moon just as the Sun is rising.

There will be three objects rising closely together from May 22 to May 24. The Moon, Venus, and Mars will rise in unison with the Moon sitting in between the two planets on May 23.
