Rising around midnight on Nov. 16th Mars and Jupiter will be nicely placed in Leo jut above “the heart of the Lion” bright Regulus. They will get higher in the sky together as the night progresses making for an amazing sight high in the south around 6 a.m. just before sunrise. Additionally, if you are up early to see this pair be sure not to miss brilliant Venus with speedy Mercury below it in the eastern sky.  Venus will be very close to the brightest star in Virgo, Spica.
