Dance of the Planets (Part 7)
The Planetary dance continues. Here Venus, Mercury and Spica make a triangle, with Mars seen dimly below (Venus is the brightest, Mercury to the left of it and Spica above, as always click to enlarge).
Over the next few days Venus will rise higher and come close to Spica, forming a line with Mercury. For earlier images in the series see here, here, and here.
