astral phemomenon

I was up before dawn this morning, headed to synagogue, when I saw it. A rare convergence of Venus, Jupiter and Mars in the eastern sky. Until the end of this week the three planets can be seen grouped together inside a five degree diameter circle, in an astral phenomenon known as a “planetary trio.” It was bright, the planets were glowing. I am hoping to see it again, the planets are supposed to stay in alignment until November 3.
