When is the last time that there was so much buzz about one month? As we enter April, there is so much anticipation in the air, and it isn’t just because of the Great American Eclipse on April 8th. In recent days, I have heard from so many people that feel like something really big is about to happen.
I can feel it too. It is almost as if we are all holding our breath as we wait for the next shoe to drop. Chaos is threatening to erupt all over the globe, and meanwhile, signs in the heavens are literally screaming at us to pay attention. The following are 8 extremely unusual events that will happen during the month of April…
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks – also known as the “devil comet” and the “Mother of Dragons” comet – is currently visible in the night skies of the northern hemisphere, providing a unique spectacle for both amateur stargazers and professional astronomers.
This Halley-type comet, which orbits the Sun every 71 years and has a nucleus about 30 kilometers in diameter, is known for its impressive outbursts of gas and dust during its voyages through the inner solar system.
The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator is set smash protons together on April 8 to search for invisible particles secretly powering our universe.
Theories have suggested there are 17 different particle groups and the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, confirmed the existence of one using its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012.
Now, the team has restarted the LHC with hopes of unraveling more mysteries of the universe – specifically dark matter.
Why in the world would CERN choose to do this on April 8th?
We are being told that they plan to shoot particles “down a 17-mile-long tunnel at nearly the speed of light to recreate conditions a second after the Big Bang”.
That doesn’t exactly sound like it is a good idea.
Let us just hope that nothing goes wrong.
We’re less than two weeks away from the astronomical event of the decade: A total eclipse of the sun, which will grace the nation’s skies from Texas to Maine on the afternoon of Monday, April 8.
Millions of people are expected to travel to see the spectacle, which will also attract scientists from across the country to study its unique effects on the Earth and its atmosphere.
NASA has announced it will fire three scientific sounding rockets into the moon’s shadow on Monday, April 8 during a partial solar eclipse across North America.
In what will be a total solar eclipse for a 115 miles-wide path through parts of Mexico, 15 U.S. states and Canada and a partial solar eclipse for the entire Americas, the event will see a sudden drop in sunlight.
“Billions, even trillions, of cicadas are going to emerge at the same time across 17 states,” Chris Simon, a professor in UConn’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, told Live Science.
Brood XIII and XIX have been living underground for 17 and 13 years respectively.
They will soon emerge at the same time for the first time in 221 years.

Passover April 22 - 30. Expecting red heifer sacrifice.
According to tradition they must sacrifice on Nissan 1. Which just happens to begin in Israel at nightfall April 8?!? Most people are unaware that Nissan 1 is also the first day of their new calendar year. I think everyone is looking to Passover for the sacrifice of the red heifer but I see it during or just after the incredible biblical events on April 8th.
