SUMMARY:Full Moon
DESCRIPTION:A full moon is opposite the sun in its orbit around Earth. Its sunlit side is entirely visible from Earth. The moon appears full to the eye for two to three nights. However\, astronomers regard the moon as full at a precisely defined instant\, when the moon is exactly 180 degrees opposite the sun in ecliptic longitude.

SUMMARY:Venus & Uranus Evening Conjunction
DESCRIPTION:The planet’s Venus and Uranus will be separated by less than 1 degree in the West after sunset this evening making them nicely placed to be viewed through a telescope’s eyepiece together. Additionally\, the open star cluster M45 “The Pleiades” will be to their upper right a little over 3 degrees away. The darker the sky gets after sunset the better your chance of seeing Uranus.

SUMMARY:International Dark Sky Week
DESCRIPTION:International Dark Sky Week is a global celebration dedicated to protecting the night from light pollution and reconnecting people with the stars. Organized by DarkSky International\, the event takes place each April during the week of the new moon\, when skies are naturally darkest. Communities\, schools\, astronomers\, and environmental groups participate by hosting star parties\, educational programs\, and lighting awareness campaigns that highlight how excessive artificial light impacts wildlife\, human health\, energy use\, and our view of the universe. At its heart\, International Dark Sky Week is about encouraging responsible outdoor lighting and inspiring people to step outside\, look up\, and rediscover the beauty of a truly dark night sky. \nhttps://idsw.darksky.org/
