Late Monday evening May 20^th the 15-day old waning gibbous Moon will be within about 3-4^o from the outer ringed planet Jupiter, and about 8-9^o from Antares, the ‘heart’ of Scorpius the Scorpion. Jupiter and the Moon will easily fit within the field of view of binoculars. Jupiter is currently located within the boundaries of the constellation of Ophiuchus the Healer, the 13^th constellation of the Astronomical zodiac.
