Star Trails: A Weekly Astronomy Podcast

A Pink Moon Rises; Plus, Making Sense of RA and Declination


Listen Later

Join us on this week's episode of Star Trails, where we dive into the celestial events lighting up the night from April 21-27, 2024. While a bright full Moon may create difficult conditions for dim objects, Mars and Saturn will keep us company in the morning, while the Lyrid Meteor Shower peaks mid-week.

Plus, we explain the celestial coordinate system of right ascension and declination, and how you might use these coordinates to find objects in the night sky.
