This was yesterday's image on APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day), a web site worth bookmarking for repeat viewing, as they have some amazing images to share. For the next week or so, four planets will be grouped together in eastern dawn sky: Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Mars. If you're interested in learning more details about this unusual planetary alignment, visit the Sky & Telescope web site.
