“Venus and Jupiter in Morning Skies” is copyrighted by Babak Tafreshi. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThese two celestial beacons shining brightly in the east before sunrise are the planets Venus and Jupiter. They are the second and third brightest objects in the night sky after the Moon. Venus and Jupiter appeared separated by about two degrees when this picture was taken on January 30, 2008, but closed to within nearly half a degree the next morning. In the serene foreground is the shoreline along the Miankaleh Peninsula and Gorgan Bay, an important bird and wildlife refuge.
