With the mercury rising, more people are spending time outside. Folks heading outdoors after the sun has set will have plenty of celestial events to look for in the night sky.
In addition to the upcoming events in outer space, Saturday, May 7, marks International Astronomy Day. The biannual holiday was founded to raise awareness about the night sky and takes place every year in May and October. The exact dates vary from year to year, so the sky celebrations take place when the moon is in its first quarter phase during spring and fall, according to National Today.
