Sky-watchers who saw the Venus-Jupiter conjunction on Tuesday, Aug. 12, will have glimpsed the first act of the six-planet “planet parade” that’s building in the eastern sky before sunrise. Best seen about an hour before sunrise, bright planets Venus and Jupiter — now beginning to draw away from each other — will dominate in the east while Saturn brightens in the south. Rising below Venus and Jupiter is Mercury, which will get higher each morning this week. Uranus and Neptune will also be in the sky, though neither is visible to the naked eye.
