Moon and Spica: A Celestial Dance

On April 12th, the full moon will appear alongside the bright blue star Spica, creating a stunning night sky spectacle.

This celestial pairing, easily visible in the southern hemisphere, features Spica, the brightest star in Virgo constellation.

Spica, a blue giant star, is significantly larger and brighter than our sun, emitting 20,500 times more light.

While moonlight reaches us quickly, Spica's light has journeyed for 250 years, showcasing the vastness of space.
