Planetary Rendevous
A beautiful planetary alignment can be seen from the Southern Hemisphere these days as Venus, Mercury and Saturn meet up for a morning rendezvous. The three planets are easily visible to the naked eye about one hour before sunrise. Neptune also joins this celestial parade, but is only visible with binoculars or a telescope.
This alignment is best visible from the Southern Hemisphere, as the planets rise relatively high above the eastern horizon while the sky is still dark. In the Northern Hemisphere, only brilliant Venus will be easy to spot.
