You must have seen Jupiter & Venus getting ever closer in the last weeks of February. Finally on March 2 they will be in conjunction. It will only appear they overlap each other however as in Space they are still miles apart. Learn a little more here about this celestial event.
March also brings with it the first of the two Equinoxes that happen every year. As stated in timeanddate.com, the March equinox is the vernal (spring) equinox and happens in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator, an imaginary line in the sky above the Earths equator from south to north. This happens about March 19, 20 or 21 every year.
