Today:
A nearly Full Moon starts March much like February, located close to the star Regulus, marking the “heart” of Leo, the Lion, the Moon visible before sunset, while Regulus emerges shortly after 6 o’clock. Although the Moon won’t pass in front of Regulus, looking at this same pair just before sunrise tomorrow morning shows the Moon’s orbit shifting it much closer to Regulus, the pair setting in the west just as the Sun rises.
