Central Indiana stargazers might miss out on April's full Pink Moon but might have better luck with the Lyrid meteor showers. Here's when they shine.

Look up in April 2026 for Venus and Jupiter, the Lyrids peak, zodiacal light after the new moon, and a short window to catch a planet parade.

Instead, Easter's date is determined by the moon and is celebrated on the Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, according to christianity.com. This means Easter could occur between March 22 and April 25.

In this episode, Astronomy magazine Editor Emeritus Dave Eicher invites you to look to the southeast on the evening of March 29 to catch the Moon next to the brilliant star Regulus - the brightest star in Leo the Lion.
