Stars of May have arrived, with the window for gazing set to run  through the 16th. Clouds prevail at present, but a clearing may be in the works for tomorrow evening, Wednesday the 13th. If  skies clear as predicted, we’ll meet for a gaze starting at 9pm – late, yes, but daylight lingers long this time of year. Check for updates through the day tomorrow.
