The night sky this week

Mondaydo on Monday, I choose the North America’s highlights for the following week (which also applies to the width of the Northern Middle Hemisphere). Check my main source For more in -depth items on Stargazing, astronomy, eclipses and more.

Night sky this week: March 10-16 2025

The Night Sky Highlight of the Week should be the first total lunar eclipse since 2022. Also well-known as a “blood moon” (though the lunar surface actually turns red-orange), North America will have the best look-you mean/stay up to the first hours.

Add a beautiful view of Venus and Mercury that shine together like Gemini at dusk and this adds a random week to sky viewers.

Monday, March 10: Venus and Mercury in connection

Only after sunset, look low in the western sky to see the two most inner planets of the solar system that shine together. Mercury and Venus will be related or, more precisely, in OVERVIEW.

Onhe one of your last chances to see Venus in the sky after the Sun in 2025. In Just Mag. +1.8, Mercury will be about 115 times darker than Venus, but both will be visible with the naked eye about 45 minutes after sunset, and about 30 minutes before sinking on the horizon.

Tuesday, March 11: Moon and Regulatory

Tonight, a 95%moon only a few days away from being full-will shine alongside Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo. One of the 20 brightest stars in the night sky, Regulus was known to the ancient Persian and Mesopotamian astronomers as one of the four “royal stars”, others were Aldebaran, Antares and Fomalhaut.

The importance of rules at east after sunset signals the arrival of spring in the northern hemisphere.

Thursday, March 13-Ee Friday, March 14: ‘Blood Moon’ Total Lunar Eclipse

Here comes the highlights of the month-a rare total lunar eclipse, or “blood moon”, which will be visible overnight by North America on March 13-14. It has not been seen on Earth since the end of 2022, this event will see that the full moon will pass through the earth’s shadow for about five hours, through its entirety-when the lunar surface turns red for 65 minutes (the result of sunlight bending through the Earth’s atmosphere)-which is what you really need to see. The whole event will be visible from North America, with the whole that occurs at these times:

• 2: 26-3: 31 am est (14 March)
• 1: 26-2: 31 AM CST (March 14)
• 00: 26-1: 31 AM MST (March 14)
• 11:26 PM-12: 31 AM PST (March 13-14)
• 10: 26-11: 31 Afternoon Akst (March 13)
• 8: 26-9: 31 pm HST (March 13)

Sunday, March 16: Moon and Spice

Yeardo year, the moon passes very close, and sometimes occult (eclipses or passes money), four bright stars while orbiting the Earth – spice, Aldebaran, regulus and members. Tonight is the turn of the spica, the brightest star in the Virgin, which will appear just over a faded gibbous moon by 93%. Look at them to rise together in the east-southeast about two hours after sunset. As with regulus, the spice highlighting is another star sign that spring is almost with us.

Week constellation: Leo

The constellation Leo, the Lion, prevails the East East Evening Heaven in March. Its “sickle” shape resembles a backward question, with the bright star regulation (directly above the spices) on its base.

Denebola marks the Lion’s tail. Between these two stars are some remote galaxies, including Leo I. Look for Leo up in the southeast as the dark falls.

Times and dates given apply to medium-north width. For the most accurate specific location information, consult with online planetaries as Stellarium and use one Sun’s calculator and sunset for the place you are.
