May 2025 New Moon Offers Clear View of Summer Constellations Tonight

Quick Summary

• The new moon of May occurs on May 26, 2025.
• Lunar phases are persistent by the moon’s position relative to Earth and the Sun; it is indeed unfeasible to observe the new moon due to its alignment creating a “dark side.”
• On May 28, a conjunction between the crescent moon and Jupiter will take place, with optimal visibility in Asia.
• Visible planetary alignments:

– Jupiter: Low in western skies after sunset but difficult to spot due to twilight.
– Mars: Visible halfway up in southwestern skies at night; reddish but dimmer than usual as it moves further from Earth.
– Saturn: Appears early dawn hours near Venus.
– Venus: Rising before sunrise in eastern skies on May 27.

• Star highlights:

– In northern latitudes during late evenings, constellations such as Leo (with Mars), Virgo’s Spica via “arc-to-Arcturus,” and Summer Triangle stars Vega/Deneb emerge by midnight.
