I always enjoy exploring and something that has become more interesting are stars, planets and constellations.

Exploring the night sky can be done with a pair of binoculars or a decent beginners telescope.  These items can enhance some experiences or bring some difficult to see objects into better view.

Here are some things to check out in our April 2020 night sky:

April 14 - April 17 See Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and the Moon all within close proximity to each other in the pre dawn.
