On April 13, the Moon will be near the point in its orbit where it is farthest from Earth. At full moon, it will be about 406,007 km (250,000 miles) from the planet. Astronomers will be able to see the Moon appear larger. Photo: Getty Images.

Mercury will reach its maximum amplitude in the west on April 21. At its farthest point from the Sun as seen from Earth, Mercury will be easier to see because it is less blinded by the Sun itself. In the early morning, people will find Mercury quite low in the eastern sky, before sunrise. Image: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Carnegie Institution of Washington.

On April 22-23, the Lyrid meteor shower will explode in the sky. This astronomical phenomenon is caused by debris from comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher. Normally, skywatchers can observe about 20 meteors per hour at its peak. Photo: Adventure_Photo via Getty Images.

Another interesting astronomical phenomenon is the conjunction of Venus and Saturn on April 29. The two planets will come very close to each other in the sky at dawn. People can observe this phenomenon with the naked eye, but it will be more wonderful if you have a small telescope. Photo: Freepik.
