Jose Lagos in Maastricht, Netherlands, caught Venus (top, far right), Mercury (towards horizon) and Jupiter (just rising over horizon) on December 18, 2018. “Beautiful way to start the day!” he wrote. Olympus Sp-565uz.
EarthSky lunar calendars are cool! They make great gifts. Order now. Going fast!
Jeff Majewski caught the trio from Flagler Beach on Florida’s Palm Coast on December 17, 2018. Samsung Galaxy 9+.
Watch for the close pairing of Jupiter and Mercury before sunup on December 21, 2018. Don’t miss the Jupiter-Mercury conjunction
Steve Pond in southeast England caught both Mercury and Jupiter on the morning of December 16, 2018. Thanks, Steve!
Jenney Disimon in Sabah, North Borneo, caught Jupiter (below) and Mercury (above) on the morning of December 16, too. Notice that their orientation is different with respect to the dawn horizon, in contrast to Steve Pond’s photo above, taken from England on the same morning. People all over the world can see Jupiter and Mercury, but – depending on where you are – the line the planets make above your horizon might be slanted left to right toward the sunrise, or right to left. Thanks, Jenney!

Bottom line: Photos from the EarthSky community of the bright planets in the east before sunup now. Venus is the extremely bright one. Mercury is closer to the horizon. Jupiter is just coming up over the horizon. On December 21, 2018, Jupiter and Mercury will be in conjunction, only 0.9 degrees (about 2 moon diameters) apart.
