Author's Notes: Jupiter and Saturn are in the eastern morning sky before daybreak. Mercury is below Jupiter during brighter twilight. The moon is in the evening sky near Scorpius. 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 appears in the Beehive star cluster in Cancer, to the upper left of Pollux.
