Unfortunately we won't be witnessing a colourful Pink Moon...April’s Full Moon often corresponded with the early springtime blooms of a certain wildflower native to eastern North America: Phlox subulata—commonly called Moss Pink.
This month we have a "micro moon" which is the opposite of a "super moon". The micro moon is where the moon is at it's farthest from Earth at just 252,225 miles!
Moonrise time: 20.52
Sunset time: 19.58
Once again we shall be pointing the telescope and binoculars
skyward to explore a different world.
Jupiter and Mars were showing well last month, as were a number of constellations and we even saw the ISS.
What will we find in April?
Obviously we are hoping for a clear sky and light winds!
Please meet us at the benches above Long Beach car park, Grouville, from 20.15 onwards.
If you have binoculars and a folding chair please bring them along.
Warm clothing, a blanket and a hot drink could be useful too!
For the swimmers ...high tide is at 19.57 and a massive 10.5m
Unfortunately the Fish and Chip shop in the village is closed on a Sunday evening.
We hope you can join us for what is becoming a very popular social event for all the family.
** FREE EVENT**
