The Moon

Mercury In the morning sky again but very low down so difficult to see.
Venus Nice and bright in the west after sunset but rapidly closing on the Sun ready for the Transit on June 6th (be up early).
Mars Well past opposition on March 3rd. Fading quite quickly now as the Earth "overtakes" on the inside.
Jupiter Jupiter is heading to the far side of the Sun and is out of view till July when it returns to the morning sky.
Saturn Saturn was at opposition on April 15th. Its on its way down the ecliptic south of the celestial equator so its the beginning of a long spell of oppositions that are not favourable for us in the northern hemisphere.
Meteors : Eta Aquarids are due for the 5th but a nearly-full moon will be around
