ALIGNMENT OF PLANETS: Mark your calendar On Dec 8th through 11th, Jupiter, Mercury and Mars will form a tight triangle in the eastern sky at dawn All three will fit together in the field of view of ordinary binoculars (Mars is dim enough that binoculars may be required to see it ) Of special note is the morning of Dec 10th when Jupiter and Mercury converge within 0 25 degrees of one another The close, bright pair will be visible to the unaided eye--a fabulous sight in the rosy glow of sunrise
