I don't usually post predictions on this blog (for that, I use things like
SkyWeek Plus and
NASA JPL What's Up videos), but I happened to stumble across this conjunction while I was planning my shots this morning.

Look to the East about 30 minutes before sunrise to see the crescent moon (5.6% illuminated) join a conjunction of 3 planets: Jupiter (top), Mars, and Mercury (bottom). The objects will be between 20° and 6° above the horizon (Hint: One fist width at arms length is about 10°).
