This week, early risers can witness a rare celestial event as Venus and Mars will be very close together in the east-southeastern sky before sunrise. The planets will be within one degree of each other, visible between 6:15 and 6:45. Observers are advised to look towards the eastern sky to catch this unique sight.
We're seeing clear skies this morning making it a great opportunity to check out the International Space Station. Head outside at 6:17 a.m. and look toward the northwest. It will be visible for 3 minutes. https://t.co/g0iUz4NWHK
Early risers check out #Venus and #Mars in the morning right before sunrise in the eastern sky. They're just 1° apart. Sunrise is just after 7am right now. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc https://t.co/ZbMKKQg480
Clear skies for the launch in a bit! Should be great visibility across the state. https://t.co/mRhyawS4C6

LOOK UP! If you're up early just before sunrise Tuesday, look to the eastern sky and you may be able to see bright Venus, and Mars just below it. https://t.co/I4YAMiy6nH
Back to work or school in the morning? Look for Venus and Mars to rise together in the east before dawn each morning this week. (via @rtphokie) https://t.co/j0i5mZVqTI

Neat sight to see this week if you're an early riser. Venus and Mars will be within one degree of each other in the east-southeastern sky before sunrise. Between 6:15 and 6:45 would be your best bet to see it. https://t.co/dBrjfSPxBb
