Brightest star in constellation Virgo is due to appear very close again to almost fully illuminated moon
If you missed the conjunction between the almost full moon and the star Spica last month, here’s another chance to see it.
The chart shows the view looking south-west from London at 04.00 BST on the morning of 23 April. The moon will be full with 99.3% of its visible surface illuminated, and it will be passing very close to Spica, the brightest star in the constellation of Virgo.
