Today:
Daylight Savings Time begins today, as we move the clocks ahead one hour, making the sunrise and sunset an hour later. There is actually a connection to astronomy, as time used to be “local”, based on the Sun’s position being due south at noon. That changed in the 1800s, when trains needed a “standard” time system.

Monday:
By 2:30 AM tomorrow, a waning Gibbous Moon climbs into the southeast, and will spend the night seemingly towing a red star just behind it. This is Antares, the “heart” of the Scorpion. The pair slides low through the southern skies, cresting due south at 6:10 AM, only a quarter of the way above the horizon, as they fading into the morning twilight.

Tuesday:
In March, the Milky Way is still fairly high across the western sky in the evening, running from the south, just above the bright star Sirius, then high in the west above Orion and Taurus, the Bull, then to the right of the bright star Capella, finally settling down into the north.
