This Month’s Sky 

Dazzling Venus appears just after sunset in the western sky. On April 18, the very slender crescent Moon, will be six degrees from Venus with the Pleiades just above Venus. On April 19, the crescent Moon will be above the Pleiades and Venus. Both evenings will be a lovely sight! Brilliant Jupiter shines high in the western sky. It continues to close in on Venus. On April 1 the two brightest planets will be 73 degrees apart and 41 degrees apart on April 30. Jupiter sets around 3:00 am and is a beautiful telescope target, along with the four Galilean Moons. Binocular views are also enjoyable. As you focus on Jupiter you will see pinpoints of light, by the king of the planets, which are the Galilean moons. The waxing crescent Moon pairs with Jupiter on April 22.
