MARCH SKY EVENTS
This is Saturn's month, as the Ringed World makes its closest approach to Earth this year on the night of the 21st. Mars has lost much of its light even as it continues to outshine every star except Sirius. Venus returns during the last week of the month, quite low in the western sky after sunset. Spring arrives with the vernal equinox on March 20 at 1:32 P.M. |
