West

Summer is nearing to its end! The vernal equinox, further, is taking place this month, heralding the fall skies. Hence the sky we're seeing in March is a transitioning one. Turn West! As those remarkable constellations and bright stars which constitute the distinctive feature of the winter skies in the northern hemisphere, were seen on the northern horizon along summer, this whole region of the sky has shifted northwest, leaving Gemini, the Twins, Auriga, the Charioteer or Procyon at its northwesternmost part. Orion, the Hunter is still high, a large quadrilateral of stars, with tree ones aligned in its center, and easy to spot. Sirius, the sky's brightest star -along with Canis Major, the Great Dog, is high as Aldebaran and the V-shaped Hyades are low. Eridanus, the River Eridanus is still visible, albeit low for one of its part, as it's taking its source at Rigel, of Orion and ending it at the bright Achernar, southwest. Lepus, the Hare, Columba, the Dove, albeit high, are fine to see, too, as are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. to a printer-friendly chart

East

East, the band of Milky Way-embedded, typically southern constellations which, in summer, is well seen southeast has risen, pushing to the southern horizon, where it will arc over the horizon during fall, providing southerners with a rare and typical view. Puppis, Vela, and Carina, those former parts of the ancient and vast constellation Argo, the Ship, are high now, as they have let the room below to Crux and the Pointers. The Pointers are those both stars -Alpha Centauri and Agena- the line of which is 'pointing' towards Crux, the Southern Cross. Centaurus, the Centaur is an easy target now. Hydra, the Hydra, albeit now relatively high, is a fine view, with Sextans, the Sextans, Crater, the Cup, and Corvus, the Crow anchored along. The bright star, low, East, is Spica, of Virgin, the Virgo. Leo, the Lion, has now entirely risen, northeast, as it's a fine view, with the distinctive Leo's Sickle ahead, and Regulus. Denebola, the 'Lion's tail' is ending the constellation. Leo Minor, the Little Lion, is seeable too. Shoud you have the northern horizon at your disposal, Cancer, the Crab, which is harbouring M44, the famed open cluster, Praesepe, or the Beehive, is well observable. Hydra's head is near. to a printer-friendly chart
