Early risers will be greeted with a celestial alignment in March with the moon falling in line with several planets on the morning of March 8.

Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Pluto will be spread across the southern sky before sunrise throughout much of March, starting with bright Jupiter high in the southern sky, and ending with Pluto to the southeast However, Pluto is too dim to see with the unaided eye.

"Of the planets, Jupiter rises the earliest, around midnight [local time], followed by Mars at 2 a.m. and Saturn at 3 a.m.," AccuWeather Astronomy Blogger Dave Samuhel said.

The moon will pass by the planets over the course of several nights through the middle of March, falling right in line between Jupiter and Mars before dawn on March 8.

It was lovely, just like my brand new granddaughter, born today (shameless granny brag).
