Details:
This was the view on the morning of September 12, of Venus, Mercury (then at greatest elongation from the Sun) and Mars (lowest in the sky this morning) in the dawn sky, along with the star Regulus. Mercury and Mars are in close conjunction on the morning of September 16. With Earth in the picture, this was an image of all four rocky terrestrial planets in one frame! I shot this from home in southern Alberta.

Should that not read three planets and a star?

I see your aesthetic point; however, the flat earth in the foreground is rocky round planet #4.
