The early morning scene will attract skywatchers over the next month. Venus, after crossing the face of the sun during last week's transit, now can be glimpsed peeking above the eastern-northeastern horizon 30 minutes before sunrise. Be aware, though, it is difficult to spot in the bright twilight. It may be lost in distant tree tops, due to its low elevation. That will change in the next week or so with Venus rising higher and becoming easier to see than Jupiter, which currently lies to Venus' right and much higher.
Such is our view from Earth…
