Only a few days ago, five planets aligned in the pre-dawn sky.
EarthSky reports that Wednesday’s crescent moon, which will have the “Da Vinci glow” or Earthshine, will take center stage in this event. Just after sunset, the moon will rise and Venus will shine brightly to its lower right side. Mars, which is dimmer than Venus due to its size and distance from Earth, will appear to the upper left of Venus — almost in between the moon and Venus.
The sky highlight of the week is Venus and Mars in the west in late twilight, especially with the Moon joining them on Wednesday. After dark look south-southeast for orange Antares,"the Betelgeuse of summer." Both are 1st-magnitude"red" supergiants.https://t.co/6KrtndRJTp pic.twitter.com/IWLVlYuUsNIn addition to our closest planetary neighbors, Venus and Mars, three other stars will surround the planetary alignment.
