Question about March sky maps chart

Hey everyone. I was curious if anyone could explain to me what this long blue line is in this months sky map. I am new to observing the sky and would appreciate any help. I apologize if I am missing something crystal clear. Thanks for all the help! [Skymaps](https://skymaps.com/downloads.html)

Did anyone see the planets lined up last night?

Woke up at about 3 am and looked outside and it looked like Venus and maybe Jupiter quite close (about 3 fingers apart from where I was looking) and then a faint one also which I assume is Mars, and then to the right there was another 3, they were all lined up in a straight line......the moon was on the far left.
