March is here, roaring in like a lion, and only time will tell if it will go out like a lamb. You’ve certainly noticed that the days are getting longer and soon, the Winter weather will make way for warmer temperatures as Spring approaches. This month, we’ll explore the planets, the crater Cassini on the Moon, a spectacular Lunar Eclipse that will be visible this month, then we’ll explore some of the galaxies that Leo has for us to enjoy and there’s a fun challenge there as well. So sit back and enjoy, it’s going to be a LOT of fun!
