Venus and Jupiter shine in the east as Morning Stars at 4:05 a.m. in the predawn sky from the Chicago area, along with a waning gibbous moon in the southern sky. Jupiter is above Venus in this view. Watch the pair in the morning sky throughout this month. Read more about Venus as a Morning Star. For our monthly sky watching posting, click here. (Click the image to see it larger.)
I’m looking at this fantastic morning view right now. Is that a star just below Venus? It sure does look like a planet!
It’s Aldebaran, the brightest star in Taurus.
