It's getting higher every morning before the sky lightens up, and the symmetry is holding. Jupiter moves very slowly- but you can see Mars pulling eastward noticeably after just a day or two. I'm sure most of Utah county can see it now, unless they are right up against the mountains. Mercury was amazingly bright as it cleared the skyline. First time I've seen it during this morning apparition. On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 6:36 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
This morning I noticed a huge, almost perfect "Y" in the eastern sky. With El Nath as the center, the legs of the Y were marked by Capella, Aldebaran, and Jupiter.
