From February 20 to March 1, the night sky offers striking planetary and lunar displays. Early evenings feature a waxing crescent Moon and a trio of visible planets—Venus, Mercury, and Saturn—forming shifting lines and triangles in the western twilight. Kemble’s Cascade and the open cluster M41 reward binocular users under dark skies, while Sirius B challenges telescope observers. The Moon passes by the Pleiades, reaches first quarter on the 24th, and later aligns with Castor, Pollux, and Jupiter. Venus and Mercury fade as Saturn descends, Jupiter dominates overhead, and Uranus lingers near the Pleiades, while Neptune becomes nearly unobservable. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-february-20-march-1/
