HONG KONG: Skywatchers around the world can look forward to spotting bright planets throughout April, but they’ll need to know where to look.
Dazzling Venus continues to climb higher in the Western sky during April, and by month’s end, the brilliant planet will not set until late in the evening. Jupiter is not quite as brilliant as Venus, but it’s visible into the after-midnight hours and is a great target to look at even in a small telescope.
Saturn, rising progressively earlier, is visible in the late evening hours low in the East-Southeast and is at its best by dawn. During the final week of April, like two ships passing in the evening twilight, Mars drops into the sunset fires and fades from view, while Mercury, shining nearly with the brightness of the brightest star, becomes evident at dusk.
