April 5 Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2022 April 5

Seven Sisters versus California

Image Credit & Copyright: Neven Krcmarek

Explanation: On the upper right, dressed in blue, is the Pleiades. Also known as the Seven Sisters and M45, the Pleiades is one of the brightest and most easily visible open clusters on the sky. The Pleiades contains over 3,000 stars, is about 400 light years away, and only 13 light years across. Surrounding the stars is a spectacular blue reflection nebula made of fine dust. A common legend is that one of the brighter stars faded since the cluster was named. On the lower left, shining in red, is the California Nebula. Named for its shape, the California Nebula is much dimmer and hence harder to see than the Pleiades. Also known as NGC 1499, this mass of red glowing hydrogen gas is about 1,500 light years away. Although about 25 full moons could fit between them, the featured wide angle, deep field image composite has captured them both. A careful inspection of the deep image will also reveal the star forming region IC 348 and the molecular cloud LBN 777 (the Baby Eagle Nebula).

April 4, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 9:45 PM to 11:15 PM EDT today (6:45 PM to 8:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might be challenged dealing with a friend or a group or an organization. In particular, you might have to confront someone in authority, or someone who is older or more experienced. This could trigger a clash of interests. Remember what your long-term objective is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which improves your luck. However, it also makes you more emotional than usual. This is why you might be at odds with a boss, parent, teacher or someone in a position of authority because they might block your plans.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your attempts to make travel plans or explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law might be stymied today. Someone or something will stand in your way. Obviously, this is frustrating. Ironically, if you can deal with this challenge, you will get results later this week.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Financial negotiations might be difficult today. Certainly, this is a poor day to try to collect money or to collect something from someone because people will be tightfisted. Ditto for financial institutions. Do your homework and hope for success later in the week.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It might be challenging dealing with those who are close to you today, especially spouses, partners and dear friends. Perhaps they will go along with your ideas? No matter what you suggest, something or someone gets in the way. Be patient because things will improve this week.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re willing to work hard today, no question. Nevertheless, you might feel stymied by authority figures, bosses or circumstances. The harder you push, the harder they push back. Be patient because you will get positive results later in the week.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Children might be an increased responsibility today. Likewise, social occasions might be daunting or overwhelming for some reason. You might also feel challenged by practising a skill in the arts or sports. Don’t be discouraged because you will have a breakthrough later in the week.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Something related to home and family will be challenging for you today. It might involve a parent or an older relative. You might have to deal with a challenging situation at home – a mess created by others or being forced to deal with too many guests.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

“It was Monday. It was Monday all day.” Life might be a bit of a slog today. No matter what you try, or how you want to convince someone, or what you want to achieve – you encounter obstacles. “Talk to the hand!”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Very likely, you will find financial situations a struggle today. You might not pull off what you want to achieve. This is a poor day to ask for a raise. However, you will work hard to solidify your financial security. Accept some detours because later in the week, you can expect success.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you are focused on achieving something. You have goals. You have your eye on the ball and you don’t want to be blocked by anyone. Nevertheless, obstacles are unavoidable. Keep trying because success awaits you later this week.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Something going on behind the scenes might trip you up today. Do not be discouraged because ironically, the energy that you put out at the beginning of the week might meet with success by the end of the week. Keep the faith.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Poet, memoirist, activist Maya Angelou (1928-2014) shares your birthday today. You are confident, strong willed and proactive about what you care about. Many of you are multitalented and have extraordinary lives. You have to be flexible this year because this is a year of change. Stay light on your feet and be ready to explore new avenues. New directions and new growth will come to you easily.

2022 April 4

A Vortex Aurora over Iceland

Image Credit & Copyright: Christophe Suarez

Explanation: No, the car was not in danger of being vacuumed into space by the big sky vortex. For one reason, the vortex was really an aurora, and since auroras are created by particles striking the Earth from space, they do not create a vacuum. This rapidly developing auroral display was caused by a Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun that passed by the Earth closely enough to cause a ripple in Earth’s magnetosphere. The upper red parts of the aurora occur over 250 kilometers high with its red glow created by atmospheric atomic oxygen directly energized by incoming particles. The lower green parts of the aurora occur over 100 kilometers high with its green glow created by atmospheric atomic oxygen energized indirectly by collisions with first-energized molecular nitrogen. Below 100 kilometers, there is little atomic oxygen, which is why auroras end abruptly. The concentric cylinders depict a dramatic auroral corona as seen from the side. The featured image was created from a single 3-second exposure taken in mid-March over Lake Myvatn in Iceland.

All Signs

This week is about facing hard problems and then solving them. That’s because on Monday, we have a lineup of fiery Mars with stern Saturn. (Anger and frustration are likely.) The silver lining is that by Thursday/Friday, these planets line up with Mercury to form solutions. In fact, this dynamic energy will morph into a physical manifestation of the creative ideas that spring to our minds! Therefore, don’t be discouraged at the beginning of the week, because as this week progresses, solutions will present themselves and things will be resolved. Eckhart Tolle said, “If you can get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your challenge this week will be finding a way to work skilfully with friends as well as deal with groups and organizations. At the beginning of the week, you might feel frustrated. In fact, you might argue with a friend or oppose the ideas of a group. Fortunately, as this week progresses, The Sun and Mercury in your own sign present brilliant solutions, and you see how to deal with someone so that things are not only dissolved but even improved! Therefore, keep the faith this week. It will begin with some challenges, but you will come up with some brilliant solutions that are actually a physical manifestation of your clever ideas. (I’m impressed.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Relations with parents as well as bosses, teachers, VIPs and even the police are challenging at the beginning of this week. You might find yourself at serious odds with someone. You are ambitious and determined to achieve your goals, which is why you won’t be happy if someone tries to thwart your efforts. Nevertheless, this is the case. What to do? Wait a day or two because solutions will present themselves. They could be help from behind the scenes, or you yourself might come up with a new approach or way of doing things. Whatever the case, you will be able to make things work and get the cooperation and approval you need by the end of the week. (If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you ever tried.) Just kidding…..

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Get ready for some serious arguments about politics, religion or racial issues at the beginning of the week. Some of you might not be involved in these controversial matters. Instead, you might find yourself at odds with someone over a medical situation, a legal entanglement, or something to do with the media or higher education or further training. Whatever it is will make you feel angry or discouraged. Please don’t let this get you down. You are a fast thinking, clever, resilient person. You know that if you stay on your feet, you can live to fight another day. In fact, a friend or a member of a group will help you either literally, or with ideas and suggestions — so that by the end of the week, you find your solution! Voila!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Disputes about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt, or challenges to a mortgage or a loan will be troublesome at the beginning of the week. You might even feel overwhelmed because you hate money problems. You like your financial scene to be tidy and reliable so that you can have a warm feeling in your tummy. (Well, don’t we all?) Fear not because a helpful suggestion or an opportunity or opening from a parent, boss, teacher or someone in a position of authority will give you a practical solution or a workable long-range plan. This person will give you the approval or permission you need to bring things together and make them work. Keep the faith!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week begins with a nasty challenge with partners and close friends. You are both at odds with each other. You don’t agree. You might find this person frustrating and feel that they are just making things worse or more difficult for you. And this could be the case – for the moment. Nevertheless, don’t escalate this argument. Remember your long-term objective: ultimately, you want to get along with loved ones. Refrain from saying anything you’ll regret because later in the week, solutions or recommendations from a teacher or someone who is “different” will make everything work. One of these solutions could be a change of location. “I’m loving this sun!”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Almost certainly, at the beginning of this week, you will encounter difficulties in your job, or possibly frustrations that relate to your health or even a pet. Whatever it is, it’s discouraging and frustrating. You have that feeling, “Who needs this? Not me.” And indeed, you’re right. You don’t need this. Fortunately, later in the week, financial assistance from a third party, or advice about shared possessions or jointly-held property, or perhaps even money back from the government will make all the difference for you. Such a relief! You’re so glad to know that that after all this frustration, the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t a train!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You like peace and harmony in your surroundings, which is why you don’t like to rock the boat. You’re a people pleaser. Nevertheless, at the beginning of this week, you will find romantic relationships to be up the proverbial creek. Oh yes, they’ll be frustrating. Likewise, relations with your kids will be difficult because they might be angry with you, or you might face what feels like impossible challenges with them. Do not be discouraged and don’t let this get you down. By the end of the week, Mercury, which is opposite your sign, will attract someone or some kind of situation that presents a solution to all this. Yay! At last…..

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Into every life, a little hard butter must fall. Unfortunately, at the beginning of this week, hard butter will be the least of your worries because you will encounter difficulties with family members or with your home or where you live. It might provoke family arguments. Things could get nasty. They will definitely be challenging. The thing to know is that no matter what happens, as the week progresses, practical ideas yield doable solutions. In fact, by the end of the week, you will deal with these problems quite successfully. Who knew? Therefore, don’t say anything that you will regret at the beginning of the week when you’re in the midst of some angst. Stay chill. The Calvary is on its way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

By nature, you are a breezy, upbeat optimist, always planning your next trip to someplace exciting. However, at the beginning of this week, you might be angry at a sibling, relatives or neighbour. Something will really “get your goat.” The secret is not to give into anger. Resist the urge to lash out at someone and get involved in an argument because you will regret this. Be patient because creative ideas, possibly from your kids, will present some lovely solutions to you by the end of the week. Since you know this is the case, remember to keep your shirt on. Yeah, yeah, I know that’s tough when you have to get something off your chest.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

In a perfect world, you like to keep things orderly because you want to make a good impression on others; plus you know that you’re happier when your life run smoothly. Obviously, part of the smooth running of your life involves financial security. At the beginning of this week, financial issues about cash flow and earnings will concern you. You might have an argument about something you own? It will be upsetting. The important thing to know is a family member or something related to family and home will come up with a solution! Everything will fall into place. This means you must be patient at the beginning of the week and refrain from doing anything you will later regret.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unpredictable might happen. For example, you might find money or you might lose money. To be on the safe side, be smart and protect what you own from loss, theft or damage. Don’t be hasty.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with wild, wacky Uranus, which will make you feel impulsive and willing to act rashly. (Generally, not your style.) Your moods will change quickly. Because it will be tough to concentrate, postpone work that requires attention to detail.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a restless day for you. You have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. (Invariably, it is ugly and the wrong size.) Guard against knee-jerk reactions or last-minute impulses. Stay cool. Keep the peace. Be smart.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Almost certainly, a friend or a member of a group will surprise you today by saying or doing something you least expect. Or perhaps, you will meet someone new who is different and unusual? Possibly a friend you already know will amaze you by saying or doing something unexpected. “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A parent, teacher, boss or the police might do something that catches you off guard today. (“Busted!”) Be aware of this and do whatever you can to keep a low profile and stay out of trouble. If you do have an unexpected encounter – remember the power of courtesy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Travel plans will suddenly change today. They might be cancelled or rescheduled or there could be a delay. Alternatively, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. Unexpected news related to medicine, the law and schooling might also surprise you. Get ready.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Double check details related to banking, shared property, inheritances and anything to do with the wealth of someone else or the responsibilities that you have for someone else. This is because something unexpected could impact these areas. Stay in the loop!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A partner, spouse or close friend might do something that surprises you today. They might act differently or catch you off guard. Possibly, they will introduce you to someone who is unusual? Whatever the case, be aware of this so you don’t overreact.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your work routine will be interrupted today. Staff shortages, delays, equipment breakdowns, computer glitches, accidents and mixed-up messages are just some things that might dog your steps today. Go slowly and pay attention to everything. Protect and guard your pet today to avoid accidents or a lost pet.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents should know that this is an accident-prone day for their kids, which means they have to be vigilant and mindful today. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change. Or perhaps you will receive an unexpected invitation? Yay! Stay flexible so that you can go with the flow and have fun.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Something related to your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected might knock on the door. A family member might have surprising news. Get dressed.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. Unexpected news plus new faces and new places will make this a stimulating day full of changes. On the upside, you might have a brilliant idea because you can think outside of the box.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Cobie Smulders (1982) shares your birthday today. You are adventurous, multitalented and likable. You know how to charm others. You are witty in a playful and happy to be the centre of attention. This year simplicity is your theme. Focus on what creates the foundations in your life. Physical exercise will also be an important factor, as you strengthen the many aspects of your world.
