Bob and Bill and Eric.........
We mostly all know what a sunrise fan I am but OMG! What an absolutely gorgeous sunrise that was!! Thanks for the post, Bob, and for fixing the link, Bill and Eric. What I wouldn't give to have seen it firsthand and in real time! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

Check it out tomorrow morning! 5:30 AM Even with the naked eye you could see that Mars was red. Right now a spectacular thunderstorm. My little Sophie is shitting a brick. I wish I was on island and could check it out tomorrow, but soon. If you aren't a sunrise/early morning person, you'd be surprised at how quickly the colors happen and then fade away to daylight. And btw, I'm LOL at that last comment of yours. Lyn would be so proud of you.....NOT!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

It's the same in the sticks of Connecticut Just go out side at 5 AM or just before dawn and look up and a little east. You will still be able to see it even just after dawn for a few minutes before the sky gets too bright. Big bright white spot is Venus Smaller white spot a little lower is Jupiter and lower than Jupiter is a small red spot Mars. They are in a pretty straight diagonal line and pretty close together. Mars is about twice the distance below Jupiter as the distance between Venus and Jupiter. You can't miss it. If you have binoculars so much the better but you can see the planets and the red of Mars very well with the naked eye. Remember when looking at them that we have had spacecrafts go to all three and a few landings on Mars. Hopefully you have clear skies
