Enjoying the sky is something we all can do from a social distance. Share your photos at EarthSky Community Photos (submit here), or on our Facebook page. This week, we’re focused on the moon passing 4 planets before sunup. Grab your camera, and aim east each morning this week, before the sky lightens. A few selected photos here. We’ll be adding more as the week progresses. Thank you if you’ve already posted!

Saturn, Jupiter, Mars near each other in the sky.

View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Dr Ski of Valencia, Philippines caught this shot of Jupier and Mars on March 16, 2020, just 4 days before their coming conjuncton. He wrote: “Jupiter and Mars now fit in the same 3° FOV of my low-power eyepiece.” Thank you, Dr Ski!

A nearly last quarter moon. The terminator line - or line between light and dark on the moon - is very slightly convex.

Bottom line: Photos from the EarthSky community of the waning moon and planets in the east before sunup, on March 16, 2020.
