This March, Venus and Jupiter form a brilliant duo in the western evening sky. On March 13, these planets will be in conjunction, with just three angular degrees of separation, and on March 27, a lovely crescent moon will join them. Astronomer Steve Beyer will serve as your guide to these visual treats in the Hayden Planetarium Dome. Weather permitting, the viewing will move outdoors for a Telescope Party on the Arthur Ross Terrace with members of the Amateur Astronomers Association.
