What's Up: April 2025 Skywatching Tips from NASA

What are some skywatching highlights in April 2025?

Following a planet-free morning sky in March, April brings planets back to your mornings, as well as the evening sky. Also look for Lyrid meteors, and hunt for the "faint fuzzy" wonder that is the distant and ancient city of stars known as globular cluster M3.

Love these videos. Despite having unlimited things to look at in the sky, I find it surprisingly hard to know what to look for. Thanks NASA!

At 1:50 that’s a waxing crescent moon you’re showing. From right to left, the prominent craters are Langrenus, Vendelinus, Petavius and Furnerius.

What was the big star to the lower left of the Moon over the ocean from North Carolina?

I know this is off the subject, but I can't find an answer anywhere. Have the von Karman Lectures been cancelled?
