March 2024: twinkling planets, Pi Day, and the carina constellation

Leon and Beth take you through what you'll find in the night sky in the month of March, 2024.

They discuss how to tell the difference between planets and stars, and explain how constellations are used to divide up regions of the sky.

Leon gets to show off how many digits of pi he knows, and sneaks in a reference to Dune the movie.
