    What’s Up In The Sky? Venus, Jupiter, Dawn Planets, and Artemis Updates!

    Leon and Morgan share April night-sky highlights and space news, starting with Venus low in the west after sunset and Jupiter in the northwest, plus a tip for spotting satellites near Orion (steady, non-blinking lights) and using NASA’s “Spot the Station” for ISS passes. They mention viewing the faint stars Tau Ceti and 40 Ari tied to Project Hail Mary, and set pre-dawn “homework” to look east for Mercury, Mars, Saturn (and Neptune with a telescope), with April 16 best for seeing them near the Moon. Leon explains why Earth looks small from lunar distance, suggests the pinky-nail Moon size check (full moon April 2), and notes April 12 (Yuri Gagarin’s flight anniversary) and April 22 (Earth Day). Constellation of the month is Libra, historically Scorpius’s claws, and they discuss Gliese 581 and past radio messages. Space news covers Artemis schedule changes, a 2028 Moon goal, ISS funding to 2030 with a shift toward private stations, and they end with “space pitches” on simulated Martian wind in crops and artist concepts of space-based data centers, plus an After Dark “knees” prank story.
