Eye on the Night Sky
Tuesday, March 31, 2026
Today:
As Leo the Lion continues to climb higher in the evening skies, March can also be said to “Go out like a lion.” Leo’s brightest star,Regulus, is more than half way above the southeast horizon at 8:30 PM EDT. Looking above and left of Regulus, the stars form a curve like the letter “c”, giving it the appearance of a sickle, or a “backward” question mark.
