Sunday morning … Mars/Jupiter conjunction
Watch for the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter before dawn Sunday. They'll be half a moon-diameter apart. Then get ready for a great year of Mars- and Jupiter-watching in 2018.

This weekend … Mars/Jupiter conjunction
From all parts of Earth, you'll find the planets high in the sunrise half of your sky before dawn. Look southeast from the U.S. and similar latitudes. Jupiter is the brightest thing up there! Mars is fainter, reddish, near Jupiter. Mercury is there, too, close to the sunrise.
