There is a small assembly of celestial objects in the early morning sky, before sunrise. Mars and Saturn are appearing close together low in the southeastern sky. And if you are up early enough Thursday morning, you can catch a thin waning crescent moon nearby. Together, they appear as a small triangle.
Look any morning ahead for the two bright planets. The crescent moon is up there too, but not as close. Mars is the reddish colored planet. Saturn is by-far higher and brighter than the reddish Marsh.
Thursday morning will be the last time you see the moon before it slips into the New Moon phase over the weekend and ends up in our evening sky, to finish the month.
Venus and Jupiter
The two brightest planets are in our evening sky. Venus, the brighter, is low in the southwestern sky after sunset, while Jupiter is still pretty high and remains high into the evening.
