It's summer (Northern Hemisphere) and the Summer Triangle asterism is rising into view. When the Moon has moved past this area you might be able to see the Milky Way stretching across the Triangle.

The Moon returns to the evening skies as a thin waxing crescent Moon. This evening near Regulus in Leo and then the Moon to pass the planet Venus as it orbits on.

Looking west this month you could follow the inner planet Venus and its orbital motion during June. Around the 7th Venus and Jupiter will be in a close conjunction. Several days later Venus and the Moon will meet at the open star cluster, the Beehive Cluster, in Cancer the crab.
May 27 - 9:30 pm CDT The skies this evening for us near Kansas City MO will be partly cloudy. Hopefully somewhere there will be clear skies and someone(s) doing a happy dance as a result!
