Elusive pairing of planets to glow together before daybreak Friday.
'The first week of March will conclude with a celestial meet-up of the smallest and largest planets in the solar system, but it will only be visible to those up well before daybreak and under a cloud-free sky.
On the morning of Friday, March 5, Mercury and Jupiter will appear side-by-side in an astronomical event called a conjunction. This type of conjunction is not particularly rare and is the second time this year that Mercury and Jupiter are converging in the night sky.
To see the pair of planets, skywatchers will need to look to the southeast about an hour before sunrise with the two eventually fading away as the light from the sun brightens the sky leading up to daybreak.
Of the five planets that are visible to the unaided eye (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn), Mercury is the most challenging to spot due to its small size and proximity to the sun. This makes Friday’s conjunction an excellent opportunity to spot the elusive Mercury with Jupiter serving as a bright reference point.
Saturn will also be glowing nearby above the duo and off to the right.'
