The Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn have been putting on a show in the sky the past few days. All look close together. This morning they were strung out in a line from east to west. The crescent Moon, then a tiny red dot that is Mars, then Saturn, then big ol' Jupiter. Saturn is further from the Earth than Jupiter but it was second in line from the Moon this morning.
I remember the first time seeing the rings of Saturn and some of the Galilean moons of Jupiter when looking through a telescope. It was quite impressive.
