Tonight's Sky: March 2023 (Northern Hemisphere)

Tonight's Sky: March 2023 (Northern Hemisphere)

In March 2023, the stars of spring lie eastward: Look for the constellations Gemini and Cancer to spot interesting celestial features like star clusters M35 and the Beehive Cluster, and NGC 3923, an oblong elliptical galaxy with an interesting ripple pattern. Keep watching for space-based views of the galaxies.
