This week’s sky highlights include Venus, Saturn, and fading Mercury forming a sunset triangle, with binoculars aiding Mercury’s view. The Moon progresses from Cancer to Leo, aligning with stars like Regulus and forming patterns with Castor, Pollux, and Jupiter—a total lunar eclipse peaks on March 3, visible mainly in western North America. Jupiter dominates the evening sky, with Europa’s shadow transit on March 5. Sirius and its nearby clusters, M41 and M50, are prime binocular targets. Daylight-saving time begins March 8, while Cancer’s Beehive Cluster and Leo mark the transition from winter to spring skies. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-february-27-march-8/
