Author's Notes: Jupiter and Saturn are in the eastern morning sky before daybreak. Mercury is below Jupiter during brighter twilight. The moon rises later and is visible before sunrise. Two bright planets are in the western evening sky. Look for Evening Star Venus. It is stepping eastward to the lower left of Pollux. Mars is near the Beehive star cluster in Cancer, to the upper left of Pollux.
