This Wednesday will be a busy day for astronomers and stargazers.

Early risers on March 23 in areas of North America, Asia, and the Pacific Ocean will be treated to a penumbral lunar eclipse. By pure coincidence, the week’s sky will also be graced with an exceptionally bright Jupiter next to the Moon.
