April 2021 brings us showers, a bit of snow, and quite an astronomical show! First, the full moon of April will be a Supermoon. This means that the Full Moon Phase and the Perigee occur very close together or on the same date – making the moon look huge! Later, the Moon will occult (completely hide) the planet Mars this month, followed by two meteor showers. Learn more about these events in the Glossary of Astronomical Events!
There are plenty of brand new, custom prints in the shop! Custom artwork makes a great, inexpensive gift for Mother’s Day!
