The month of May is the first of the year where spending time outside to enjoy the view of the night sky isn't made unpleasant by the lingering winter cold. There are two big events awaiting sky gazers during the month of May: the Eta Aquarids meteor shower and the full blue moon later in the month. 

The Eta Aquarid meteor shower is up first, visible in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres. The shower peaked on Monday morning but some of the shooting stars were still expected to be visible during the week.
