See it on NASA's siteThis photograph captures a rare alignment in the pre-dawn sky over Phoenix, Arizona. From left to right, we see the city lights, our Moon, Venus, and Jupiter. Such close proximity of these celestial bodies is an unusual and striking sight. The image shows the glow of the sky just before sunrise.
