Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan.

The lads chat about the early morning things to keep an eye out for:

- Mars, Saturn & Venus conjunction in the morning!

- April 3: Uranus is 6° north of the Moon.

- April 9: Rupus Recta, the Lunar Straight Wall.

- April 12th: Jupiter & Neptune very close conjunction.

 

Then there are things that aren’t just in the early morning:

- April 8: the Lunar “X”, a chiaroscuro event.

- April 12th: Asteroid 8 Flora is at opposition. March showers bring April flowers?

- April 17: Uranus is 2° south of Mercury in the evening.

- April 22/23: Lyrid Meteor shower.

And much, much more!
