What's Up in the April 2025 Skies?

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.    If you enjoy the episode, please subscribe, comment, and share, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.
