May 13, 2025 Moon rises in Scorpius

Summer is still five weeks away, but the season’s constellations are already on the rise.

Tonight watch for the not quite full Moon next to the star Antares. Antares’s brilliant orange hue creates the heart of Scorpius, one of summer’s most recognizable constellations. 

Fun fact: The stars rise four minutes earlier every day, so rest assured the summer sky is on its way.
