Pleiades, Jupiter & Saturn

The moon passes the Pleiades star cluster (W) on April 8.

Jupiter dominates the morning sky early April shining at
magnitude -2.2 (SE).

Saturn, the lord of the rings, glows at magnitude 0.4 among the stars of Leo on the evening sky this month. Saturn's rings will disappear from our sight later this year as the planet tilts edge-on.
