Excuse Me While I Kiss the Sky -- Month of March 2025

Excuse Me While I Kiss the Sky -- Month of March 2025

Welcome to the night sky report for March 2025 -- Your guide to the constellations, deep sky objects, planets, and celestial events that are observable during the month. Mercury is visible beneath Venus for the first week and a half of March, Mars is high in the east following sunset, and Jupiter is visible high in the west after dark – Not very spectacular. However, to make up for the limited planet viewing this month, there is a total lunar eclipse on the way that is visible in the Americas on the night of March 13th. During March, look for the constellations Gemini and Cancer to spot interesting celestial features like star clusters M35, the Beehive Cluster (M44), and NGC 3923 -- an oblong elliptical galaxy with an interesting ripple pattern. Find the Y-shaped constellation Taurus, the bull, high in the southwest. The Hyades star cluster forms the bull's face. The night sky is truly a celestial showcase. Get outside and explore its wonders from your own backyard.
