Up early? Look up.

All this week Jupiter, Venus and Mars will shine super bright in the pre-dawn sky. The planets form a triangle in the eastern sky. By Wednesday the planets will be in a very tight arrangement. The configuration of the planets will change each morning.

You wont need any fancy stargazing gear to see the planets. With some good binoculars you might even be able to see all four of Jupiter’s moons, Io, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto.

Because of each planets speed this configuration won't happen again until 2021.
