The full moon of April, called the Pink Moon, will occur in the eastern U.S. during the evening hours of April 23, at 7:49 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time . Later that night, Mars and Saturn will rise in the predawn hours. is determined by its position relative to Earth, rather than one's position on Earth's surface, so the timing depends on one's time zone. Observers in London would see the moon reach full phase at 11:49 p.m. local time; in Chicago it would be at 6:49 p.m. local time. .
From cities near the Equator such as Quito or Singapore, Jupiter is similarly high; in Quito the sun sets at 6:15 p.m. and Jupiter at 7:28 p.m. local time, and at sunset Jupiter is still about 16 degrees above the western horizon. As one gets into the Southern Hemisphere, Jupiter starts to once again appear lower in the sky; in Buenos Aires the planet is only 10 degrees above the northwestern horizon at sunset, which is at 6:19 p.m. on April 23.
In the Southern Hemisphere, observers in Buenos Aires will see Saturn rise at 3:30 a.m., Mars at 4:15 a.m., Mercury at 5:54 a.m., and Venus at 6:31 a.m. local time. Sunrise is at 7:24 a.m. on April 24, so by civil twilight's end at 6:58 a.m. it's even possible to see Venus, which will be 5 degrees high in the east.
In the Southern Hemisphere the sky is"upside down" so by about 9 p.m. at the latitudes of Buenos Aires Spica will appear above and to the left of the moon, and Arcturus will be below the moon, and to the left, closer to the horizon. Antares, the heart of Scorpius, the Scorpion, will be just rising in the southeast. Looking upwards in the southeast one will see Rigil Kentaurus and Hadar, the former being closer to the horizon, and just above those the Southern Cross.
