What’s Up: March 2026 Skywatching Tips from NASA

A wide-angle, night-time composite photograph of a lunar eclipse over the Perth, Australia skyline. A diagonal line of nine moons arches across the dark sky, documenting the progression of the eclipse: starting from a bright full moon at the top left, transitioning into a dark reddish-orange "Blood Moon" at the center, and returning to a partial moon at the bottom right. Below, the brightly lit city skyscrapers are reflected in the calm waters of the Swan River, with vibrant streaks of white, gold, and magenta light shimmering on the surface.

What are some skywatching highlights in March 2026? A total lunar eclipse blood moon takes centre stage, Venus and Saturn cozy up for a conjunction, and we celebrate the vernal equinox.
