Jupiter at opposition
Tue., December 4, dawn
Mercury at greatest elongation west:
The best morning apparition of the year for the elusive planet Mercury.
Venus and Saturn will point to the tiny glimmer of Mercury, best seen
about an hour before sunrise.
Mercury will be well placed in the morning sky for observers in the northern hemisphere for the first half of the month.
Venus is still a morning “star,” shining brightly before sunrise.
Mars has faded into the west moving behind the sun
Jupiter is in Taurus, close to Aldebaran and the Hyades
Saturn is now a morning star. It begins the month in Virgo
Uranus is visible all evening in Pisces. It sets around 1 a.m.Neptune remains in the depths of Aquarius all month, and sets around 10 p.m.
