JAMES: Three planets grace the morning skies
this month.

 

DEAN: We re talking about Jupiter, Mars,
and Saturn.

 

DEAN:
It s Monday March 5th at 5 AM, facing southeast.

 

Jupiter is about halfway up in the southern
sky, is super-bright, and hangs up and to

 

the right of Scorpius the Scorpion.

 

JAMES:
Just to the left of Scorpius we come to our

 

next planet and it should shine with a steady
reddish glow.

 

That is Mars.

 

DEAN:
Now connect a line from Jupiter through Mars

 

and keep going.

 

You will run into another pretty bright star
that should be a little yellow in color.

 

That is actually the ringed planet Saturn.

 

JAMES:
If we advance to Wednesday March 7th, look

 

what joins the planet line-up

 

DEAN: The Moon!

 

JAMES:
It ll be right next to Jupiter.

 

And then as the week progresses, on the 8th
and 9th, the Moon will get closer and closer

 

to Mars.

 

DEAN:
And on Saturday morning March 10th it will

 

lie between Mars and Saturn.

 

BOTH: Keep looking up!
