Venus-Jupiter conjunction each morning this weekend

The two brightest celestial objects after the Sun and Moon go through a close conjunction in early dawn, about an hour before sunrise. Watch them change position daily, while Mars keeps them company. Mercury is near the horizon.

The two brightest objects in the sky pass extremely close to one another every morning this weekend in an amazing spectacle easily visible to the naked eye.
