A dry and clear stretch of days in early June will make planet-gazing easy this weekend! Get outside before sunrise between 5-6 a.m. and look to the east!

Shining brightly will be a lineup of Jupiter, Mars, and then Venus closer to the eastern horizon. Venus is a very bright planet followed by Jupiter, so the two will be easy to spot. Mars is dimmer, so the closer to sunrise, the faster it will fade out.
If you spot these early morning planets, share a photo with us!
