Attention stargazers! You're about to be treated to a series of space spectacles.
"Space Monday," as astronomers have dubbed it, kicks off in the late afternoon when SpaceX, the private spaceflight company, is planning a rocket launch. The Falcon 9, carrying its Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station, is set to lift off at 4:58 p.m. EDT from Florida's Cape Canaveral. The event is being webcast live by both NASA and SpaceX and streamed on Space.com.
After sunset, attention turns to Mars, which will pass within 57 million miles of Earth — its closest approach since January 2008, according to Space.com.
The sky show continues on April 15 at 1:58 a.m. EDT, when a full moon passes through Earth's amber shadow, producing a full lunar eclipse visible across North America.
The 78-minute total eclipse is the first in a tetrad, or a series of four consecutive total eclipses occurring at approximately six-month intervals.
