The “planet parade” happening all week will enter its most photogenic phase on Tuesday, Aug. 19, as Mercury becomes more prominent and the moon wanes to a slim crescent. All this week, four planets are visible to the naked eye an hour before sunrise. Uranus and Neptune will also be in the sky, though both require a telescope to see easily. Tuesday’s view is one of the best of the week, though on Wednesday, Aug. 20, the crescent moon will be close to bright Venus.
