The Planetary Pairings Coming to March Skies in 2026

Описание: March is a busy month in the night sky for astrophotography. So grab your camera. We have the Milky Way Core rising before sunrise, the galaxy season, and several Moon and planetary pairings.

I’m Carly from Dark Sky Utah. I share astrophotography tips, night-sky planning tools, and dark-sky locations to help photographers capture the Milky Way and night skies.
