April Night Sky

Actually this event is a pre-dawn and early morning before sunrise event. 

A small planetary alignment is when four planets appear close together in a small sector of the sky as seen from Earth.

Tomorrow morning if you are up a half hour before sunrise and have an unobstructed view low on the horizon to the southeast east look for this.  Mars and Saturn can be found adjacent to a waning crescent moon.  Venus and Neptune will be lower on the horizon to the east.  Use binoculars if you have a pair.
