This weekend the planets Mars, Jupiter and Venus form a triangle in the early morning sky. The planets remain close for the coming week. Jupiter and Venus are closest together in the mornings on Sunday and Monday, when the two planets are about one degree apart. Mars is nearby. The time to look is before sunrise." ~ Vineyard Gazette

The Night Sky

"First, let him look at the night sky,
so he realizes how insignificant he is."
