Hey i'm an Astonomer! Some coooool things to look out for this month. Jupiters very clear in the sky if you want a good look AND April 9th it'll be passing over a very bright star. So not only will you get a good look at it but you'll see it moving aswell 8) pretty cooooool compared to just being still in darkness. That and Mars. Earth will be inbetween the Sun and Mars this month (starting April 17th) so if you ever wanted to see Mars's polar ice caps or thin cloud/surface details nows the chance to get a good view :D

  • Of course! I've been trying to get out and do some observations but this weather has been just god awful. It's 70° and clear in the day and snowing at night, but I mean, that's what you get for living in New England I guess. I've never gotten the chance to go to a high altitude observatory, and I'm dying to.

  • No, because that gives me all the reason to do some southern hemisphere traveling in the future to see it for myself! But yea, light pollution is bad up here. You have pick and choose locations carefully or else your just wasting your time. Though, I've gotten considerably better results going just a few hours north, so it's manageable.

  • Pleiades? And yes, Orion is my favorite because of Betelgeuse. I wish I could be alive to see it blow up in the future, that'll be quite the sight.
