Five Planets Visible in the Morning
The good folks over at spaceweather.com have once again alerted us to an important astronomical event: During May, early risers will be treated to a conjunction of Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury. (The fifth visible planet would be the one you are standing on!) The Moon is thrown in as a bonus. The photo above was taken by Liz Gleeson on Magnetic Island (Australia) — what a great location!

I do get up early so this morning I noticed the present Venus here but did not see the others – I guess I need to look a little closer to figure out where the rest are and say that “I saw it”. – WD0AJG
