Half-Moon with Jupiter and the Pleiades (evening)
On Wednesday evening, March 5 after dusk, the nearly half-illuminated moon
will shine to the lower right (or celestial northwest) of the brilliant planet Jupiter. The bright little Pleiades Star Cluster, which is best viewed in binoculars, will be positioned about a palm's width below the moon. Those viewing the trio later, or in more westerly time zones, will see the moon shifted closer to Jupiter and farther from the cluster. Look early, as they will set in the west around midnight local time.
