During the new Moon, the Moon remained hidden from the Earth as it aligned with the Sun. Now, four days later, it begins to show itself again in the immensity of the firmament, with more and more determination and progressively increasing its luminosity and visibility at dusk.
We launch the April lunar calendar with the Moon in the waxing phase, which is also known as new moon visible. It is illuminated from the right in the northern hemisphere; on the left, in the southern hemisphere. You’re probably wondering if the full moon is far away. We will have to wait another 12 days.
Regarding its orbit, the Moon today is in its last days of promotion. Notice an object in your environment when you see her tonight, such as a tree or a building, and use it as a reference. Take note of what time it is. If in the next few days you look towards the Moon, that reference point will help you see how the Moon is positioned higher every day at the same time. Starting Friday, it will stop rising and resume its descent.

Uranus next to the moon at dawn
On Tuesday, April 1, early in the morning, at 3:47, fans of contemplating the celestial stars will have been able to enjoy seeing Uranus (mag. 5.7), the planet associated with innovation, freedom and surprises, along with a crescent Moon that, at that time, was 10% illuminated.
Uranus, the farthest icy giant in the Solar System, is difficult to see with the naked eye and can only be seen clearly through use of a telescope or professional binoculars powerful. However, if weather conditions permit, it is always possible to sense its presence.
The Moon growing next to the Pleiades at night
At a more affordable time for most, already at night at 9:28 p.m., the 18% illuminated Moon will align with the Pleiades (mag. 1.2), a star cluster located in the constellation of Taurus. This star cluster is also known as «the seven sisters» or «the seven goats.» With the naked eye, it will be easy to distinguish them, since you will see in the night sky seven stars that stand out for their bright blue color.
Look up and enjoy a magical night in which the Moon and the Pleiades come together in the sky.
