This month, Jupiter will shine in the west in the early evening, and on 13 March the Moon will be a crescent so close to it that it will be visible with double binoculars.

The following evening, the Moon will visit the Pleiades, a star cluster visible to the naked eye. The five-day lunar crescent will hang right next to the bright star cluster and will look great through a small telescope or binoculars.

On the night of 24 March to 25 March, a weak lunar eclipse called a penumbral eclipse will occur, passing through the outer part of the Earth's shadow. This causes a slight dimming of the Moon's brightness, which may not be noticeable if you don't look carefully. However, if you look at the Moon during the peak hours of the eclipse, you may notice a difference in brightness.

The image shows a crescent moon in a view of the Earth's horizon and airglow taken by a crew aboard the International Space Station. The lower half of the photo is brighter because light reflects off Earth's atmosphere and is layered with a bright blue airglow, while the background fades to black where the Moon can be seen in the distance.
