If you’re up early this morning at about 5:45 am, Venus, Mars, and a waning crescent moon are all visible in the southeastern sky. The moon is visible between Mars and the bright red star Antares. Stars will appear to twinkle, or scintillate, while planets generally do not. With both Mars and Antares visible this morning, this is a great opportunity to try and spot the difference.
