Today:
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.
Wednesday:
Settling into the northwest as evening descends, the Queen of the heavens, Cassiopeia, remains well placed for viewing, about one third of the way above the horizon. Her W-shaped pattern of 5 stars pivots around the North Star, and each spring looks more and more like the celestial throne she sits upon.
Thursday:
You find two familiar constellations climbing in tandem this evening. Due east prowls the Lion, Leo, coming into his own as he returns to the skies each spring, his head and front shoulders in the form of a backwards question mark. Mirroring this pattern, as well as climbing higher to the left of Leo, you see the familiar pattern of the Big Dipper, oriented vertically as a large question mark, halfway up in the northeast.
