There are few events at night that get one's emotions uplifted and feelings of wonder than the sight of Northern Lights.
The two evening planets, Mars and Venus are in the western sky. The two are appearing closer and closer.
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.
