Don’t Miss Monday’s Must-See Sky Show As A Crescent Moon Cuddles Venus

On May 18, 2026, a 7% waxing crescent moon will appear just below Venus in the southwestern sky after sunset.

The pair will be visible about 30 to 45 minutes after sunset for roughly two hours, making it an easy naked-eye skywatching event.

The moon will then move toward Jupiter on later evenings as part of a broader May planet parade.

The close Moon-Venus conjunction offers a clear chance to watch planetary motion and moon phases in real time without equipment.
