Abstract | This is another great month for evening observing as four planets continue to remain easily visible. Venus, Mars, and Saturn can be viewed over the western horizon, and Jupiter is shining high over the southeastern horizon. Opportunities will also exist for using binoculars or low-power telescopes to observe conjunctions between the planets, the Moon, and some bright stars. The typical binocular, providing a field of view of about 7 degrees in diameter, is very well suited for this type of observation. As a visual, the full Moon is approximately one half of a degree in apparent size, as is the Sun. A hand, held straight out at arm's length, is about 8-10 degrees across, and the width of your little finger is about 1 degree. This article discusses events in the month of April relating to the planets and nighttime sky in the following sections: Conjunction function; Celestial events; Visible planets; and Moon phases. A brief list of Internet resources is also included. (ERIC). |
