FOR ASTRONOMY LOVERS
Text adapted from McClure and Byrd, 15 Feb 2016, Earthsky.org
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter have put on a spectacularshow before dawn in recent weeks. All five have been visible together in a graceful arc across the predawn sky, guiding the mind’s eye into the edgewise plane of our own solar system. In late January and early February, the moon swung past the planets. By mid-February, though, Mercury was getting harder to see from the Northern Hemisphere. Soon, it will be too close to the rising sun to be visible from here. Southern Hemisphere viewers will see it for some days longer, possibly through the month’s end. And all of us can still see four planets at once! Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter remain visible before dawn. And Jupiter is coming up in the evening now.
