See the Moon, Mercury and Venus Before Sunrise Today

Mercury and Venus will star in an early morning meet-up with the moon Friday (July 24).

Both planets can be seen low in the east-northeast roughly 45 minutes before sunrise. Venus, a dazzling morning "star," rises at the first light of dawn and shines low in the east-northeast as dawn brightens.

Since I'm up at this hour I'll probably miss it but I will kick and recommend so others get a longer chance in seeing this OP

Thanks for the headsup, littlemissmartypants, although I will probably be asleep by then.

but there has been a wide band of clouds sitting almost stationary along the horizon so can't see Mercury.
