Author's Notes: Three bright planets are in the evening sky. Look for Evening Star Venus in the west-southwest. Venus moves higher in the sky after the Jupiter conjunction on March 1. Jupiter slowly slides into evening twilight. The moon is in the western evening sky after sunset. Mars marches eastward in front of Taurus near the western Gemini boundary.

Chart Caption - 2023, March 22: Mars is east of the Bull’s horns, near the Gemini border.
