The flowers are blooming, but the most beautiful thing is happening overhead. The universe has an epic show planned for April. Are you ready?

Start the month with something real stellar. The crescent moon will approach the Pleiades – also known as the “Seven Sisters”. And no, don’t expect Disney princesses. They are blue-glowing stars, young and hot like freshly brewed galactic tea.

No, the Moon won't turn into a marshmallow. The name "pink" refers to the spring flowers, not the color. And this year, it's even micromoon – it will be further away, smaller and a little more shy. But still photogenic enough for Insta, right?

"April 13th – Pink Moon (but don't expect color, more magic)"

Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will have a date in the morning sky. Three of them you can see without binoculars – the fourth (Neptune) is so shy that you will only see it with a telescope.

Mercury is having its "Instagram moment" today - it will be farthest from the Sun and you will finally notice it before the sun's spotlights drown it out again. But be careful - Telescope yes, eyes on the Sun no!

"April 21st – Mercury shows what's inside! 🌞"

Meteors will be falling – not because of a wish, but because of a comet. And at a rate of up to 18 per hour! If you're lucky and the sky is dark, a galactic shower awaits you.

Moon + Venus + Saturn = smiley face in the sky. If you're tired of people not smiling, raise your head - the sky will do it for them. And you'll also see the mysterious "earthlight".

"April 25th - The Universe is smiling... you should too 😊🌙"

New Moon = no Moon, just stars! Grab your binoculars (or app) and immerse yourself in nebulae, galaxies, and other luminous wonders. Oh, and a bonus: The Moon will be invisible, but still... supermoon. Just an introvert with a big ego. 😎
