Actual Astronomy - Objects To Observe in March

Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. [email protected] - This month starts off with a bang. Last night! March 1 (yesterday) featured a spectacular conjunction of Jupiter and Venus. So you missed that one. - The zodiacal light is something you might see if you can go to a super dark site. It comes from dust that’s come from Mars. - March 20th is the spring equinox. - Ceres will be at mag 6.9, and March 20 is a fine time to try to see it. A planetarium software package like Stellarium will help you find it. - There’s much, much more!   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
