‘Planet Parade’ On Thursday: See Venus, Jupiter, Saturn And Mercury

With Venus and Jupiter beginning to drift apart after their tryst on Tuesday, Aug. 12, the “planet parade” building in the east before sunrise is starting to spread out. Best seen about an hour before dawn, Venus and Jupiter — both shining very brightly and immediately apparent to the naked eye — can be seen above the eastern horizon while Saturn is shining in the south. Although you may struggle to see it until just before sunrise, Mercury is below Venus and Jupiter and will get higher each morning this week. Uranus and Neptune are also in the sky, but neither is visible to the naked eye.
