==== IN THE SKY THIS WEEK ===

The First Quarter Moon is Tuesday March 7. In the early evening, ruddy Mars
is in the northwest sky, between the beautiful Pleiades and Hyades clusters.

On Monday March 6 the Moon is just below Mars.

In the late evening, Saturn is easily spotted in the middle region of the northern
sky as a pale gold object, brighter than any nearby stars.

Jupiter rises before midnight and can be seen near the zenith in the eastern morning sky.

Venus is brilliant in the dawn sky.

This is the last week to see Comet A1 Pojmanski. The comet is visible in binoculars,
and not far from Venus, but you do have to get up over an hour before sunrise to see it.
