The March Night Sky

- March 2008

 

The night sky reflects the change from winter to spring. The most prominent

constellations of winter, such as Orion, Gemini, and Canis Major, remain in good view, but they are

in the western half of the sky during the evening hours and slide from view

by midnight or shortly thereafter. At the same time, such spring stalwarts as

Leo and, a bit later, Virgo, are

climbing skyward in the east. Their precise annual march across the sky is

like the hands of a celestial clock, ticking off the hours of another year.

2-3 Jupiter and the Moon team up low in the southeast at

first light. Brilliant Jupiter is just to the upper left of the Moon on the

2nd, and about the same distance above it or to its upper right on the 3rd.

9 Daylight Saving Time begins for

most of the United States.

14 The Moon barely misses bright

orange Mars tonight.

18 The Moon appears to miss the star

Regulus, the “heart” of Leo, the lion, by no more than 1 or 2 degrees. Saturn stands below them.

19 Saturn and Regulus line up to the

upper left of the Moon. Brighter Saturn looks golden. Regulus is slightly

farther from the Moon.

20 The vernal equinox occurs at 12:48

a.m. CDT, marking the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere.

26 The Moon and Antares, the brightest

star of Scorpius, huddle together after midnight

tonight. At their closest, they will be separated by about one degree, which

is less than the width of a finger at arm’s length.

31 Jupiter, which looks like a

brilliant cream-colored star, stands to the left of the Moon at first light.
