The Planets are aligned

Well, they're not actually but it was quite neat to see four of them spread out across the sky before dawn. From West to East, Jupiter in the western sky, Mars overhead, Saturn and Venus in the East. Mercury I couldn't find as we have trees in our neighbors yard to the east of us and it was behind them. It's an interesting sight to see as you can imagine an arc spreading out from your location thru all of them like a slice of a record, or CD, and that gives a good idea of the actual plane of the solar system.
