NASA reveals skywatching treats for March

Over the coming weeks, NASA has released a monthly update on what to look out for.

The trio can be seen with the naked eye around 45 minutes before sunrise on March 18.

The moon will join the party at the end of the month, creating a striking scene in the east.

If you don't like early mornings, then look to the southwest during the March evenings to find the bull constellation. One of the astronomy apps will help locate it.

If you look at the center of the bull's face, you will see a group of stars. It is the closest open star cluster to our solar system and features hundreds of stars.

An open cluster is a group of stars that are close together in space. They blow away the leftover material. They are called open clusters because of their open structures. Studying these structures helps us understand how stars form and evolve.

You don't need a telescope to see Hyades. Refer to the diagram again and again, and then use one of the astronomy apps for help.

You can check out a star that has its own planets around it.

The right eye of the bull is called Epsilon Tauri. The orange dwarf star has a gas giant planet that is eight times the mass of Jupiter. 7 Canis Majoris is the star at the center of a constellation that contains the star Sirius.
