April 22 – the maximum of the Lyrid meteor shower, with a ZHR of 18. The activity of the shower lasts from April 14 to April 30. It is nice to know that you can see the particles of comet C/1861 G1 (Thatcher), which humanity has not seen for more than 160 years, burning up in the Earth’s atmosphere.
April 25 – A triple conjunction will occur when a waning crescent moon will align with Venus and Saturn, forming a “smiley face” in the early morning sky.
