I have been trying to star gaze in London, which is a challenge. However, yesterday morning at 4 am, Venus was the brightest I have ever seen in any place I have been. The planet rises about that time here, and stays brilliant for hours.
Please try and get up to look at this glorious creation of God.
I cannot see the Summer Triangle, as there has been too much "haze". However, I did see Spica and Sirius.
The crescent moon was surrounded by a corona. Hmm, rain coming?
