Four (or Five) Planets in a Row Early in the Morning!

 

Were you up before sunrise today and saw FOUR planets in a row?

I wasn't but a fellow member of the Huachuca Astronomy Club was and this is her (Karen Madtes) shot!

Left to right: Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn 

(Bonus but too dim to be in this shot... Neptune, which is between Jupiter and Venus from our perspective!)

P.S.  They will be visible for a few more weeks so get out there and enjoy the view, just be sure you have a relatively good view of the south-eastern horizon about 4:30 am !

Thanks, Karen!
