What's up for April ?

Hello and welcome. I am Scientist Fenil at SEVENF'S AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION AMATEURS ASTRONOMY CLUB , Gujarat , India.

Look up at the night sky this month and you'll see great views of Saturn and the moon.

Each month I'll be telling you about some cool views you can see in the night sky.

One of the views I love to share is Saturn.

Everyone is always amazed that they can actually see the rings.

Just step outside after sunset and you'll see Saturn.

It's a bright golden glow nearly overhead.

You don't even need a telescope.

There is another planet you can see this month, it's Venus.

Just look low in the west after the sun sets. Venus is the brightest object that you'll see.

But wait, there's more! Between April 21st and April 25th, you'll see the moon grow larger and appear higher in the sky each night. By the 25th you'll find it above Saturn!

Here's a viewing tip for next month. In late May -- you'll be able to see asteroid Vesta.

It won't be as bright as the Big Dipper stars, and you'll definitely have to get away from city lights to see it.

I really enjoy viewing the solar system through my own telescopes and sharing the views with others.

That's all for this month.
