Good morning, welcome to April and yes, today is April Fool’s Day but we are not fooling you that April is Global Astronomy Month, which is the perfect month for Charlie to study Astronomy in his Homeschool Classes and to take a Field Trip or two. Would you like to go with us?
Global Astronomy Month
Global Astronomy Month 2022
Global Astronomy Month 2022 is the flagship event of Astronomers Without Borders which takes place every year in April. The aim is to encourage everyone to go outside, look up, and share the sky.
The highlights of Global Astronomy Month 2022 include a Venus-Saturn-Mars planetary dance, a partial solar Eclipse across Southern South America, and a Venus-Jupiter conjunction.
