Go Outside at 5:30AM. Then look to the east.

That’s right. If you can find a spot where the neighbor’s security lights are not glaring in your eyes, you can see some great naked celestial splendors. The three constellations are, top to bottom, Auriga, Taurus and Orion. Right there are a great many of the brightest stars visible from Planet Earth. And there are two planets, Mars and Venus. For my money, Mars is a twin of the Bulls Eye Star, Aldebaran. Then also you may be able to just make out the bosoms on Venus. But you’ll need a telescope for that.
