April's Full Moon, the "Pink Moon", merits a special feature because, this year, it can also be called the "Paschal Moon". It's importance is not just astronomical as, linked with the March Spring Equinox just gone, the Paschal Moon determines the date for Easter. This also explains why, apparently oddly, the date for Easter changes each year!

At last, there's good news for the meteor watchers with the appearance of the Lyrids. Not a huge number per hour at their peak, but they can be quite spectacular.
