Five Planets Visible in the Morning

The good folks over at spaceweather.com have once again alerted us to an important astronomical event: During May, early risers will be treated to a conjunction of Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury. (The fifth visible planet would be the one you are standing on!) The Moon is thrown in as a bonus. The photo above was taken by Liz Gleeson on Magnetic Island (Australia) -- what a great location!
