Jupiter & Mercury Morning Conjunction

June 4

Before sunrise on Tuesday, June 4th Jupiter and Mercury will have a very close pairing low in the SE sky in the constellation Taurus. You’ll need an unobstructed view of the SE sky and want to look about 30 to 45 minutes before sunrise. Binoculars would also help make for a great view. Additionally, on this same morning a thin crescent Moon can be seen about 10-12 degrees away from this planet pairing. Following the ecliptic even higher in the sky are Mars and finally Saturn. Can you spot them all?
