March 2021 may bring lambs or lions, but it will definitely bring excellent astrophotography opportunities with it! Before dawn on March 9th and 10th, the planets Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn will be in conjunction with the Moon (click here to read more at EarthSky.Org). Spring officially starts in the Northern Hemisphere on March 20th, irrespective of what a groundhog from Punxy has to say. Venus will disappear from view on March 26th as it enters a Superior Conjunction. Take a look at our Glossary of Astronomical Phenomena to learn more about them.

All digital 2021 moon phase calendars are on sale in the shop! It’s time to get ready for a new year.
