This week’s sky highlights include Jupiter shining in central Gemini and the Big Dipper rising high in the northeast, pointing toward Polaris, Leo, Gemini, and Capella. The Little Dipper’s “Guardians of the Pole” are visible near Polaris. As spring approaches on March 20, Cancer climbs high in the southeast with the Beehive Cluster (M44) and fainter M67. Sirius dominates the southern sky, forming the Winter Triangle with Betelgeuse and Procyon. A rare young crescent Moon appears low near Venus on March 19, offering a prime thin-moon challenge. Planet watchers can spot brilliant Venus, high Jupiter, faint Uranus, while Saturn and Neptune hide in sunlight. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-march-13-22/
