It's a little too hazy to drag us off the sofa and out to a mediocre sidewalk astronomy night. And none of the other astronomers are available tonight, it seems.

In the meantime: Try really hard to wake up early tomorrow morning! There is a great planet lineup worthy of a wake-up call this week. The lineup of the three planets just above the rising sun in the east has been visible all month long, culminating in a tight cluster of the planets Venus, Mars and Jupiter from now until month end. Sunday morning, the brightest of the two Venus and Jupiter are very close together -- from our earthly vantage point. Don't miss Mars below the two bright ones. Fainter, but worthy of a look! Just use you eyes, binos if you have them.

So step outside, look East and enjoy the show! Here's the lineup go.nasa.gov/1VHmy2E
