In this April 2026 sky guide, discover the biggest celestial events you can see in the night sky including the Pink Full Moon, the Lyrid Meteor Shower, and the start of Galaxy Season.

On April 5, the Full Moon April 2026 rises, also known as the Paschal Moon, the lunar event that determines the date of Easter.

Early in the month, the planet Mercury becomes visible in the morning sky, offering one of the best chances in 2026 to see the elusive inner planet.

Mid-April brings the New Moon, creating the darkest skies of the month and opening the door to Galaxy Season, when distant galaxies like Messier 51 and the Virgo Cluster can be observed with telescopes.

The highlight of the month arrives on April 22 with the Lyrid Meteor Shower, caused by debris from Comet Thatcher. Under dark skies, you may see 15–20 meteors per hour streaking across the sky near the bright star Vega in the constellation Lyra.

We’ll also explore subtle sky phenomena like Earthshine, the faint glow on the Moon caused by sunlight reflecting from Earth.
