"7 Heavenly Wonders That Will Take Your Breath Away in April \ud83d\udcab"<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flowers are blooming, but the most beautiful thing is happening overhead. The universe has an epic show planned for April. Are you ready?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2604\ufe0f 1st Moon at the Pleiades (April 1st)<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Start the month with something real stellar<\/strong>. The crescent moon will approach the Pleiades \u2013 also known as the \u201cSeven Sisters\u201d. And no, don\u2019t expect Disney princesses. They are blue-glowing stars, young and hot like freshly brewed galactic tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Seven sisters and one moon = space romance \ud83d\udc99"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf15 2. Pink Full Moon (April 13)<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong> \u2013 it will be further away, smaller and a little more shy. But still photogenic enough for Insta, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"April 13th \u2013 Pink Moon (but don't expect color, more magic)"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Four Planets in a Row (April 17)<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will have a date in the morning sky. Three of them you can see without binoculars \u2013 the fourth (Neptune) is so shy that you will only see it with a telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"April 17th - Planets dance in the sky \ud83d\udc83\ud83e\ude90"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2600\ufe0f 4. Mercury in top form (April 21)<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

"April 21st \u2013 Mercury shows what's inside! \ud83c\udf1e"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf20 5. Lyrid meteor shower (April 21\u201322)<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Meteors will be falling \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \ud83d\ude0a 6. Space Smiley (April 25)<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    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".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    "April 25th - The Universe is smiling... you should too \ud83d\ude0a\ud83c\udf19"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83c\udf0c 7. Best Night to Stare (April 27)<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    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<\/strong>. Just an introvert with a big ego. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • "April 27th \u2013 Darkness made for stars \u2728"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • "New Moon = your chance to see further than you're used to \ud83c\udf20<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83c\udf1f Conclusion? In April, we look up. Because the universe has a better program than television.
      And maybe \u2013 just maybe \u2013 you'll see something that reminds you that you too are part of this infinite miracle.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      "Which of these celestial events will you not miss? \ud83d\udc40\u2728"<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
