Today:
The brightest object in the night sky is the Moon. It’s so bright that it’s fully visible in broad daylight, when it rises in the east-northeast at 3:45 PM. On the opposite side of the sky, in the west, will emerge the second-brightest object in the night sky, Venus, which can be seen as it sinks toward the horizon by around 7:45 PM, before setting in the west-northwest at around 8:50 PM.
Monday:
The nearly Full Moon rises late today at around 5:30 PM. It won’t be until closer to 8 PM that the constellation Leo will emerge from the twilight, appearing above the Moon. Of the stars in Leo, Regulus is the brightest. The Moon and Leo will ride across the southern sky overnight, before Leo sets at around 5:00 AM, the Moon doing so by around 5:45 AM.
Tuesday:
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.
