Happening in the sky in
May '25

Session Schedule
10:00 PM in English
10:00 PM and 11:30 PM in Portuguese

  • June 11 - Full Moon

  • June 25th - New Moon - the second session of this day is the best time to observe the Milky Way.

  • The Milky Way begins to be observed at the end of the second session of the night.
    For good observation, days without a Moon in the sky are recommended (between the waning and waxing quarters, preferably as close to the New Moon as possible).

  • June marks a month of transition between the "galaxy season" of April and May and the versatility that characterizes the sky in July and August.
    We still have good galaxies to observe in the sky together with star clusters, planetary nebulae and closer to the end of the month star-forming nebulae.
