Southern Skywatch February 2019 edition is now out!
Morning twilight sky on Friday, February 1 looking east as seen from Adelaide at 5:34 ACDST (60 minutes before sunrise). Venus is bright and is close to the crescent Moon. Jupiter is above Venus and Saturn below it.
The left upper insert inset shows the telescopic view of Venus at this time. the lower left insert shows the telescopic view of Jupiter at the same scale and the lower right that of Saturn. The previous morning the crescent Moon was close to Jupiter, the following morning the crescent Moon will be close to Saturn.
Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time (60 minutes before sunrise).
The February edition of Southern Skywatch is now up.
Mercury is in the evening sky but too close to the horizon to see in the twilight.

Jupiter is close to waning Moon on the 28th.
Mars is close to the waxing Moon on the 10-11th. Mars and Uranus are closest on the 19th.
