March into the new month with these sky-gazing opportunities!

Looking up at night is more fun when you know what to look for. Learn about some of the night sky happenings throughout March: 

-  After a cosmic kiss, Jupiter and Venus will go their separate ways growing farther apart each night throughout the month. 
-  All throughout March, dwarf planet Ceres will be visible throughout the night and is at its brightest for the year. Find it using binoculars or a small telescope. 
-  The Moon will keep us on our toes, with a full moon on March 7 and a new moon on March 21. On March 23, the Moon will be a slim crescent after sunset, hanging just below a blazing bright Venus. On March 25, the crescent Moon sits beside the brilliant Pleiades star cluster.
