Join us as we delve into the celestial events for the week of May 5th. An incredible meteor shower peaks this week under dark skies, thanks to a New Moon. Planetary observations are scant this week, but plenty of opportunities abound for viewing deep sky objects, such as the Hercules Cluster, thanks to this week's darker conditions.

Also, we take a quick detour through a cosmic void, and later, look at some new research that suggests evidence for the mysterious Planet Nine!
