For the next few days, five planets will appear in alignment in the morning sky. This photo, taken Friday morning near Chicago, shows the location of Mercury, Venus, the moon, Mars and Jupiter. Saturn, which is also in in the alignment, is not shown. It would appear further to the right in the sky. The planets may be difficult to see in this photo, but it does provide an indication of their relative positions.
