As the brilliant stars of winter progress toward the west, the constellations of spring make their appearance.
Two March constellations derived from Greek mythology, Gemini and Cancer, lie in the zodiac. The zodiac is the name for the band of sky through which the Sun, Moon, and planets appear to travel.
Skywatchers in parts of Asia and Australia will witness a partial solar eclipse on the morning of March 9th, while some in Alaska and Hawaii could see a bite taken out of the Sun before sunset on March 8th.
