Additionally, April brings two significant lunar events. The Full Micromoon occurs on the 5th at 3:15 AM in the constellation of Gemini, also known as The Twins. It will be the furthest full moon of the year. Later, prepare for the New Supermoon, which is set to be the closest supermoon of 2025. These lunar phases create a stunning backdrop for the meteor shower, enhancing the beauty of the night sky.
