💨 Abstract

The Milky Way is highly visible to the naked eye in the US, particularly from midlatitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. The best viewing period is from May 20 to May 30, with the new moon on May 26 being an ideal night. The galaxy's bright core is easiest to spot in late May. Visibility depends on latitude, with the best times varying slightly across the US and the UK.
