*Venus* and *Jupiter* (magnitudes =964.7 and =962.1) shine dramatically in =
the
east-northeast before and during dawn. They remain stacked 5=B0 or 6=B0 apa=
rt
this week, with Jupiter on top.

*Mars* (magnitude +0.8) glows orange in the west-southwest at dusk and
lower later. It's to the lower right of the Saturn-and-Spica pair by about

Below it by nearly 5=B0 is *Spica*. After dark they move lower to the
