Planets roam the brightening morning sky. By the time twilight begins, Mars is high in the east near the bright stars Castor and Pollux in Gemini. The Red Planet slowly creeps through that constellation while rising slightly earlier each morning. Venus, on the other hand, is low in the eastern twilight. Each morning, it very slightly moves closer to the horizon, taking a few more months to reach it. Both Saturn and Mercury are currently obscured by the sun. In a couple of weeks, they will appear, inching out of the solar glare.
Such is our view from Earth ...
