May Sky Guide for May At 9 PM Shows Planets Poorly Visible

The May sky map for mid May at about 9 pm shows no planets on the chart. Jupiter and Mars are faint but visible before midnight, Venus and Mercury are near the Sun and not seen much of the month, Saturn is low in the west after dark. The article notes the map is cluttered by old constellation figures and coordinate lines and suggests a simpler “path of the planets” label. It mentions constellations along the ecliptic from Cancer to Sagittarius and explains precession shifts the Sun’s position. It also points out notable celestial features like the Southern Triangle near the South Cross, Carina, Corvus, and the ship Argo’s keel in astronomical terms.
