Author's Notes: Saturn is appearing in the morning sky before daybreak. Three bright planets are in the evening sky. Look for Evening Star Venus in the west. Mercury is making its best evening appearance of the year to the lower right of Venus. The moon is farther eastward each evening after sunset. Mars marches eastward in western Gemini, near Castor's foot.
