In this episode, Astronomy magazine Editor Emeritus Dave Eicher invites you to head out on the evening of March 8 to see a close grouping of two planets. This time, brilliant Venus — the third-brightest object in the sky (next to the Sun and the Moon) will be passing by Saturn. Find Venus before twilight ends and look for the Ringed Planet as the sky darkens. Good luck!
