This week’s sky offers brilliant celestial sights and seasonal transitions. On March 20, spring begins with a thin crescent Moon near Venus in the west. Sirius dominates the south-southwest, with Canis Major and Puppis visible, and the Beehive Cluster in dim Cancer offers a binocular target. The Moon passes by Pleiades, Beta Tauri, and Pollux through the week, reaching first quarter on March 25. Orion tilts southwest as the Winter Hexagon fills the evening sky. Jupiter shines brightest high in the south, Venus gleams low in twilight, while Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune remain hidden. Uranus lingers near the Pleiades after dusk. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-march-20-29/
