March brings the zodiacal constellation Cancer, the crab, into an excellent viewing position for northern hemisphere observers.
According to Greek mythology, the giant crab was slain by the hero Heracles during his battle with the Hydra of Lerna. The goddess Hera, who wanted Heracles defeated, placed it in the stars as a thank you for trying.
