Soon after it March 25there will be moon eclipse. As is logical with these astronomical events, not the entire planet will be able to see them. It will only be visible in places, but this is not a problem, because there will certainly be many photos that everyone will like.
Otherwise, the astronomical events of March are not particularly abundant, although, again, there will be some conjunctions that will make the event much more beautiful. sky watching.

King of March astronomical events
This month marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern hemisphere. As always, the starting signal for these stations will be equinox which will occur on the night of March 21, at 03:01 UTC (04:01 Spanish Peninsula time).
On this day, the Sun will shine directly on the equator, so the length of day and night will be very similar.
Eclipse and Full Worm Moon
He March 25 These March astronomical events will occur on the full moon. As always, its name is taken from ancient Indian legends. In this case, it is called the Worm Moon, since at this time the earth, now without ice, began to soften, so a typical Earthworms.
But this time it is also a special day because there will be a penumbral lunar eclipse, during which the Moon will temporarily and partially disappear, passing through the partial shadow of the Earth. It can be seen in full throughout American continent.
The rest of the planet will have points like Spain, in which part of the eclipse can be seen immediately after moonset. In parts of Australia this will happen when it appears over the horizon. And in other places you will have to make do with photographs. Either way, whatever your situation, this NASA map can help you check what the eclipse will look like where you are.
The planets are dancing in the sky
