Leon and Beth talk about what's in the night sky in the month of April, 2024.

We hear how the planets are a little lacklustre this month, except for one cool event that neither of our hosts will be waking up early to see.

They swap tips for locating constellations, and chat about an upcoming solar eclipse.

Beth points out that a total solar eclipse is an experience unique to earth in our solar system, thanks to a coincidence about our sun and moon.
