Stargazers in 2022 can look forward to an impressive lineup of events from earthshine nights, lunar eclipses, meteor showers & more. Check out the dates and times for astronomical events in the month of April & May.

While some events such as the full moon and the supermoon can be viewed from anywhere in the world, this year’s first eclipse of 2022 on April 30, is a partial solar eclipse visible from southern South America, parts of Antarctica, and over the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
