The Actual Astronomy Podcast presents The Observer's Calendar for April 2024. In this episode we’ll talk about the possible Nova of T-Corona Borealis, Mars, Saturn and Moon forming a Triangle in the Eastern Sky, the April 8th Solar Eclipse. Chris and Shane also discuss the Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks but since recording both have viewed it in binoculars.

April 1 - Zodiacal light visible in West for next 2 weeks.

April 2 - Last quarter Moon

April 6 - Mars, Saturn and Moon form a Triangle in East at dawn

April 7- International Dark Sky Week

April 8 - Total Solar Eclipse

April 10 - Jupiter and Uranus 4-degrees below the Moon this evening

April 11 - Morning Mars, Saturn Pleiades - 0.5 degrees for somewhere...I think they are farther here.

April 15 - First Quarter Moon - Lunar X visible Near Crater Werner for all of North America

April 16 - Lunar Straight Wall visible

April 19 & 20 - Jupiter and Uranus 0.5 degrees apart.

April 22 - Lyrid Meteor Shower is spoiled by the Full Moon on the 23rd
