A Fantastic Monday Morning Sky Show
Nov. 2 , 2007: This is worth waking up for.
On Monday morning, Nov. 5th, anyone willing to step outside before dawn will see a fantastic display of stars and planets—and maybe a couple of spaceships, too.
The planets: Venus, Saturn and Mars.
Venus is the extravagantly luminous “star” hanging low in the east. You can’t miss it—especially because the crescent Moon is hanging nearby. The closely-spaced pair is as lovely as anything you will ever see in the heavens.
