May Skies!
For those of you interested in looking up into the night sky, this month has some visual treats lined up. Saturn will be visible high in the south with its rings as edge-on as they will appear for the next 15 years! Also visible this month is Arcturus, sometimes referred to as the 'Spring Star'. Arcturus is a red giant, many times larger than our own sun and vastly more powerful. Look due east to find it. For more information on Arcturus look here.
