March's Moon Mania by the Editors of Sky & TelescopeMarch 1, 2007
Lunatics be warned! The next three nights will make for some wonderful Moon observing. While floating near the Sickle of Leo, the Lion, you'll see Luna nearly cover a planet, hover gracefully near one of the brightest stars in the sky, and plunge deep into Earth's shadow.
To start things off, be sure to head outside tonight at dusk. Just about an hour after sunset, the Moon makes a close encounter with the ringed planet. The passage will be best for observers in the Eastern and Central time zones. Our Observing Guide to Saturn should help you better enjoy this gem of the night sky.
On Friday, at about the same time, you'll be able to see Luna floating near Regulus. And best of all, on Saturday evening March 3rd, if you're well placed in eastern North America, the full Moon will rise in the midst of a lunar eclipse!
To hear more about these events and other happenings in the March skies, be sure to download Kelly Beatty's free monthly podcast. Just load it into your MP3 player, bundle up to brave the cold, grab a cup of hot chocolate, and let Kelly take you on a tour of the heavens.

For telescope viewing, Jupiter's South Equatorial Belt (SEB) seems to be going through a change. skytonight.com/news/Jupiters_Changing_Face.htmlMy scope can't pick out such detail, I can see the bands, but not any of the cloud features withing them. I only have 90mm primary lens... small for a reflector. Right now, Jupiter is visible in the pre-dawn easten sky.

Subject: STEREO Eclipse NASA Science News for March 12, 2007
No human has ever witnessed a solar eclipse quite like this: NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft was about a million miles from Earth last month when it photographed the Moon passing in front of the sun. The resulting movie looks like it came from an alien solar system.
