This morning, the three morning planets – Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars – shine during morning twilight. Bright Jupiter is in the south-southeast, 4.8° to the right of Saturn. Mars is in the southeast.
The three planets span nearly 27° in the sky.
Watch Mars continue to open the gap to Jupiter and Saturn, while Jupiter inches closer to Saturn.
Jupiter passes Saturn on December 21, 2020 for a Great Conjunction.
