In addition to the bright planets and meteor showers visible throughout the spring season, a 'once-in-a-lifetime' solar eclipse will darken our daytime sky on April 8.

On March 19, at precisely 11:06 p.m. EDT, the Sun will cross the celestial equator from south to north, signifying the earliest start to spring in 128 years.

With that event, astronomical spring begins, and there is plenty to see in both the night and daytime skies for the next three months!
