Venus, Jupiter and Mercury are all visible after sunset in late May 2013. From May 24-29, they form a spectacular planetary trio. On May 26, these three will form the most compact grouping of planets you’ll see until the year 2021. Meanwhile, Saturn – shines noticeably brightly in the May 2013 evening sky all month long. And Mars is officially in the morning sky in May 2013, but not visible, having passed behind the sun from Earth last month.
