March Skies, Eclipses & a Close Encounter?
This March, the night sky offers spectacular sights, from the high-rising Crux in the south to a midnight appearance of Scorpio.

The equinox brings nearly equal day and night worldwide, marking the shift in seasons. Meanwhile, astronomers are tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a small but intriguing chance of impacting Earth in December 2032. Could a cosmic intervention be needed?
