Don't hide, Tom. Keep looking up, there's more to come.

MAY 7-10
On the evening of May 7 and especially May 8, the planet triangle will have become a narrow isosceles.
On the evening of May 10, Venus will move to within only one-third of a degree of Mars; both will be visible together in binoculars or a low-power telescope. Venus will appear 175 times brighter than Mars, because while Venus will be 132 million miles from Earth on that night, Mars will be 223 million miles away.
Through this seven-day interval there will also be separate conjunctions between Mars and Saturn (2.2 degrees apart on May 4) and Venus and Saturn (2.4 degrees apart on May 7). In addition, this entire sequence of events takes place in central Taurus, just to the north of the orange first-magnitude star Aldebaran and the beautiful V-shaped Hyades star cluster.

The overall span of the five planets across the western evening sky has been steadily shrinking in recent weeks. It was 54 degrees in length on April 20, then 40 degrees long on April 30, and it will be 36 degrees on Sunday. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn will squeeze into a narrow sector of the sky reaching a minimum span of just 9 degrees on May 7.
Mercury will then gradually fade to invisibility during the second week of May.
