Observer's Corner for April


The Planet Venus Makes a Visit to Aries
About 30 minutes after sunset and 15 degrees above the Western horizon, look for the planet named after an ancient goddess. Venus at 92% full, remains visible for a good two hours before she sets around 9:30 PM local time. At a magnitude -3.9, the planet's the brightest object in the constellation of Aries the Ram and covers eleven minutes of arc.
