A bright moon in our southern sky will dominate the week ahead. The moon is gibbous, a term that describes the moon days before it is full.

The Lyrid meteor shower will take place in the wee hours of Sunday morning.

The nights ahead are moonless, making deep sky stargazing easy and full of wonder. So much has changed in the last month.

The two closest planets to the sun appear in our western sky in the evenings ahead.

There is a treat for those with a good unencumbered view of the western sky after sunset.
