Details:
The 5 classical planets are now appearing in the morning sky from east to west (L to R) in order of their distance from the Sun, as are also the 3 outer planets (yes, I'm a Pluto supporter), just not all together.
#1: When it's dark out (Mercury's not up yet) you can spot Uranus and Neptune (in binoculars).
#2: Once into nautical twilight Mercury is now visible (in binoculars), but Uranus and Neptune have faded from view.
At either time Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn draw a brilliant line across the sky that's worth checking out before the month is done. On June 24th the Moon will be midway between Venus and Mars and can represent Earth in the lineup.
