Congratulations to Dennis Chabot, who caught Venus and Mars before sunrise! These two worlds will be coming up sooner before sunrise and easier to see throughout September. Dennis wrote at EarthSky Facebook:

I went into the field next door … didn’t know if Venus was up or not. It was, and it was very bright. I could hardly see Mars, but it showed up well in the photo. Should be a good show for planets in the early mornings this month.

Yes! Thank you, Dennis!
