On Monday, August 18th, early rises can get a glimpse of the Venus - Jupiter Conjunction. The planets rise about an hour and a half before the Sun, but since the sky gets brighter about an hour before sunrise, best time to observe is when the Jupiter and Venus rise - they're separated by less than a degree, seemingly being closer together than they've been since the year 2000. It's definitely something to look for!
Jupiter and Venus will be still quite close together for the next few days, but not as close as on Monday.
Another thing to wait for - on August 23rd, Jupiter and Venus are joined by a thin crescent Moon and make a triangle in the early morning sky.
