In the month of May 2020, we have a handful of events worthy of checking out. The Full Moon is a Supermoon because it is only a few days away from the Moon’s Perigee. There are two meteor shower peaks across the globe. Jupiter and Saturn visit each other, as well as Mercury and Venus. There will be five lunar conjunctions at four intervals this month. May is loaded with events to watch and photograph!
