Bright Lights in Summer Sky: Venus and Jupiter Sky Show | Video

Being awake at dawn has its benefits in July as Venus and Jupiter converge and set the table for a skywatching show that also stars the crescent Moon with Earthshine, a star cluster and more.

Hurry! get up at the crack of dawn.. run like hell outside like a nut and look into the nice haze of the sky! then cuss about it because you are frustrated.. chirpy,.. happy happy joy joy at NASA.GOV!

No problem. Stay stoned. Stay asleep. Stay stupid. It's fine. Really.

A little unprofessional to be calling one of your viewers stupid, don't you think? And to assume he's a stoner based off of a YouTube comment? Some of the best scientists have used marijuana, by the way. And some of the most frequent consumers get up and the crack of dawn on a daily basis and are highly productive, contributing citizens. Again, don't make assumptions based off a silly comment and lighten up a little.

We apologize to you and the commenter if you read it that way. We think you heard something we didn't say, but your point is well taken. Thank you.

I've been watching all month and it's BEAUTIFUL. Why they don't mention that Venus is in Crescent from as well is odd. With a decent telescope you can observe this as well. Last night made for poor viewing put I'm holding my breath for the next 3 days.... Look up in the morning, Look up at night. A sky full of art such a beautiful sight.

I saw these three bright lights just before dawn on Monday from the Gold Coast in Australia, looking east. They were just magnificent. Cloudy mornings unfortunately since then, but I hope to see them again. I am nor "star watcher" and do not normally star watch in the mornings, its too cold here at this time of year, but this certainly has whetted my appetite.
