The brilliant Morning Stars, Venus and Jupiter, continue to shine from the eastern predawn skies this morning in this 20-second exposure as seen from the Chicago area at 4:05 a.m. CDT. Venus is well past Aldebaran, the brightest star in Taurus. Jupiter appears near the fainter Hyades star cluster. The Pleiades star cluster shines higher in the sky.
