Two Full Moons, Meteor Shower & Moon-Venus Meetup

It's May 1st. You're listening to Hartford News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Cory with the story.

Connecticut Stargazers got a packed May skyline up with two full moons, a meteor shower, and a sweet moon, Venus Meetup.

We're talking the Flower Moon on May 1st, marking spring's bloom time, and a rare blue moon closing out the month on May 31st.

That's the second full one in a single calendar, kicking things off.

That Flower Moon hits full glow during the afternoon of May 1st, but clouds might crash the evening party here in the nutmeg, state limiting clear views despite early forecasts.

Then comes the Ada Aquarid meteor shower, peaking May 5th and 6th, courtesy of Holly's common debris streaming from the Aquarius constellation.

Heads up though, Moonlight will wash out some fainter streaks, so patience pays off under darker skies.

Fast forward to May 18th, and after sunset, catch a Venus hanging tight with a slim crescent moon primetime for quick photos or just soaking in.

The vibe. As these events wrap May's cosmic show, grab your blankets and chase those clear nights. The universe don't wait for perfect weather.
