April is here! And with it comes warmer days, blooming flowers and trees along with crisp evening skies.  This month the planets are still putting on a nice show, and we’ll explore one of the most famous areas on the Moon, learn about the Lyrid Meteor Shower, get a space mission update and explore some of the best that Canes Venatici has for us to observe on April evenings.
