Sky & Telescope
Tuesday, April 8• Mars is at opposition — its closest opposition
since December 2007. Mars is actually nearest to Earth on the 14th, but the difference is barely a trace. This is the month for Mars with your telescope!
Wednesday, April 9 • This evening, look left of the Moon by about a fist-
width at arm's length for Regulus in Leo.
Thursday, April 10 • Look above the waxing gibbous Moon this
evening for Regulus. The Sickle of Leo extends nearly upright from Regulus.
Friday, April 11 • The waxing gibbous Moon shines under Leo
tonight. Leo is where you get if you follow the pointer stars of the Big Dipper far enough backward.
Saturday, April 12 • Look far lower left of the Moon this evening for
fiery, glary Mars. By about midnight they're lined up horizontally in the south.
