The 365 Days of Astronomy

Observing With Webb - April Episode


Listen Later

- Venus is getting harder and harder to see, as it gets closer to the Sun from our perspective. You’ll have to look low on the Eastern horizon about an hour before sunrise up until sunrise. It will be the only or brightest point of light in that direction.

- Mars is already in the W around sunset and setting a little after 10:30 each night, which gives you less time, given the later and later sunset. Moves through Taurus. Dimmer, but still brighter and redder than its surroundings.

- Jupiter: Rising between 1am and 11:30pm, Jupiter will be very bright in the morning, off to the SSW, only about 20˚ high.

- Saturn: Rising between 3:30am and 1:30am, Saturn will be about 25˚ to the left of Jupiter all month, hanging out in the top left of Sagittarius.
