The weather should hopefully be clearing up a bit this evening so hopefully we can get out, get some fresh air, and check out a pretty cool and unique situation in the sky tonight: a close grouping of the moon, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter.

Throughout March Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter can be seen in the sky and throughout the month they get closer and closer to one another. What's special about tonight is we'll get a crescent moon thrown into their immediate area in the sky - four of the brightest objects in the nighttime sky grouping up together. Plus I think it's pretty cool that you'll be looking at 3 planets in our solar system and our moon, all in one spot of the sky. And it gets us outside doing an activity - I'm all for that with my family right now.
