3 planet visible in the sky tonight.
Look at the moon as a reference for the first 2. To the right and just a little low you will see a light that just doesn't quite look like the "other stars" (brighter and a very slight difference in hue). That is venus. Now look diagonal up and left. Another light that isn't the same as the others. That would be Jupiter.
If you have a medium strength or better telescope the third is more interesting. The southeastern sky is where you will find Saturn and tonight it is the closest to Earth in this passing. With a decent telescope you can see the some of the rings and moons. To help find Saturn check out this link http://astronomy.com/observing/sky-this-week/2015/05/may-2231-2015
