Now mid-March 2018 and there are planets in the sky!  Here are some of the notable moments.

If you look to the west right after sunset you will catch bright Venus and fleeting (and fainter) Mercury. On March 18th, just after sunset, you might also be able to catch the very young, sliver moon, low on the western horizon.

Are you and early riser? Then you will be able to catch the other bright planets, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
