Sky Guide April 2015

What to look out, and up, for in April.


This month we look in the direction of Leo the Lion for the
beginners guide – taking a look at the bright binary stars and a
very special grouping of entire galaxies to observe in our spring
skies.


Next we round up the planets that are visible in March 2015:
Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the return of Mercury. April brings us
some nice lunar conjunctions and a well timed Lyrid meteor
shower. And for our deep sky challenge we take you on a galaxy
tour of Virgo and Coma Berenices.
