The night sky in April: Our full moon, the planets and stars that the moon visits this week, the Lyrid meteor shower, and the lack of true darkness already(!), and an explanation of the different categories of twilight.
Correction from Kathleen: “Nature called at 4 am Monday morning. The bright planets Saturn and Mars were the only objects visible through the twilight, about 10 degrees above the south south east horizon. Contrary to what I said on this week’s StarDate Susitna, Saturn and, to its right, reddish Mars were easy to identify.”
