Join us this week on a celestial journey through the night sky for the week starting March 24, 2024.

Mercury reaches its Greatest Eastern Elongation on March 24, We'll then dive into the subtle beauty of a deep penumbral lunar eclipse occurring in the early hours of March 25, and we offer up a guide on how to spot Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks.

Also, we look back at a major development in astronomy in the 1700s -- the discovery of the planet Uranus.
