Technology Apr 22, 2026

Heads up, skywatchers!
This Wednesday night, April 22, the Moon and Jupiter will line up super close in the sky, a conjunction you can spot without any fancy gear.
Just look toward the western horizon soon after sunset for a pretty awesome view.

Crescent moon above Jupiter in Gemini

Look west after sunset: you'll see the crescent Moon just above bright Jupiter, both set against the Gemini constellation.
If you have binoculars, try them out: you might even glimpse some of Jupiter's moons!
With Jupiter fading from view in coming weeks, this is a great chance to catch both together.
