TL;DR

On April 10, 2024, skywatchers can witness Jupiter near a crescent moon in the evening sky, while Mars and Saturn will be visible in the early morning hours. The two planets will appear close to each other, with Jupiter leaving the evening sky soon. Additionally, the phenomenon known as "Earthshine" can be observed on the moon, and comet 12P/Pons-Brooks may also be visible. Jupiter will gradually become harder to see in the evening sky before transitioning into the morning sky in June.
