For the first time this summer, we see Jupiter emerging from the solar glare into the morning sky after its solar conjunction on June 24.  Despite being dimmed from thin clouds, we see the king of planets arrayed in an isosceles triangle with the crescent Moon and Venus.  The separation between Jupiter and Venus is 19°48'15" this morning, a distance that we will see shrinking daily until their August 12 conjunction. Jupiter is magnitude -1.91 and Venus is -4.03 today.  Unannotated image.
