Jupiter has put on an admirable show this month of March, in spite of the fact that it is now rapidly relinquishing its many months of dominance in the evening sky. It teamed with Venus at the start of the month, making for a stunning sight in the western evening twilight. But the giant of the solar system still has two more appointments on its docket to keep during the time frame running from March 22 to 27.
Jupiter will be lost in the sun's afterglow by month's end, but on the 22 it still will be setting roughly 70 minutes after the sun. And on that evening, it will be visible to the lower right of a delicately thin waxing crescent moon.
