A plethora of worlds and a bright star will be visible in the early morning Wednesday (March 23) to predawn risers.
All in the sky during the same period will be ringed Saturn, bright Mars, and cloudy Venus, along with the moon and the bright star Antares.
Let's start with the moon and Antares. The quarter moon will be glowing above the red star, which is called the "rival of Mars" because it looks so much like the Red Planet. Antares is the heart of the constellation Scorpius (the Scorpion) and is notable to astronomers because the star is late in its life, as a red giant.
