The peak will occur from the evening of the 22 nd to the morning of the 23 rd. The Lyrid meteors comprise a medium-strength shower, with perhaps 20 meteors per hour at the peak, with occasional fireballs. The Lyrids are named after the constellation of Lyra the Harp, from which they appear to originate. The parent body is comet C/1861 G1 (Thatcher). The Lyrid meteor shower is active from the evening of April 15 to the morning of the 29 th. A magnification of 150x is needed to see its 2.2-arcsecond wide disk.įull moon occurs on the 5 th, last quarter on the 13 th, new moon on the 19 th, and first quarter on the 27 th. On the 15 th, Neptune is at Right Ascension 23 h 46 m 49 s and declination of -2° 42ʹ 36ʺ. On the 30 th, Neptune rises at 4:14 a.m., PDT. On the 1 st, the planet rises at 6:06 p.m., PDT, 35 minutes ahead of the sun, and is located low due east. Uranus is only 3.4-arcseconds wide, and a magnification of 150x is needed to show its diminutive disk. On the 15 th, Uranus is at Right Ascension 2 h 59 m 21 s and declination of +16° 39ʹ 55ʺ. On the 30 th, Uranus sets at 8:13 p.m., PDT. On the 1 st, Uranus sets at 10:00 p.m., PDT, and is low in the west. A magnification of 50x is needed to see the rings and Saturn’s largest moon Titan. On the 30 th, the planet rises at 3:19 a.m., PDT, and the sun rises at 6:05 a.m., PDT. The planet rises in the east-southeast at 5:05 a.m., PDT, and the sun rises at 6:41 a.m., PDT. A magnification of 50x will show the Red Spot, and the four bright Galilean moons may be seen moving back and forth, roughly in a line centered on Jupiter. The planet will appear in the early morning sky in May. On the 1 st, Jupiter sets due west at 7:47 p.m., PDT, 33 minutes after the sun sets. A magnification of 200x is needed to see the planet’s small disk. The planet is 90-percent illuminated and 5.4 arcseconds wide. On the 30 th, Mars sets at 12:56 a.m., PDT. After sunset the planet is due west and two-thirds of the way up from the horizon. On the 1 st, Mars sets at 1:49 a.m., PDT. On the 30 th, Venus sets at 11:06 p.m., PDT, and is 66-percent illuminated and 17 arcseconds wide. On the 1 st, Venus sets at 10:15 p.m., PDT, and is 77-percent illuminated and 14 arcseconds wide. Venus is due west and about a third of the way above the horizon after sunset. Do not observe any planet when it comes close to the sun, for the danger to the eyes is great. Mercury sets at 7:43 p.m., PDT, and so the planet cannot be observed. On the 30 th, the sun sets at 7:36 p.m., PDT. A telescope with a magnification of 150x is needed to see the disk. On the 11 th, Mercury is at greatest eastern elongation. Mercury sets due west at 8:27 p.m., PDT, and the sun sets at 7:14 p.m., PDT, on the 1 st, an hour later.
