    Morning Moon and Jupiter (before dawn)

    Another 24 hours of orbital motion will carry the very slender moon several finger widths to the upper left (or 4 degrees to the celestial north) of the bright planet Jupiter on Wednesday morning, July 3. Look for the pair climbing the eastern sky from around 4 a.m. local time until sunrise. Good binoculars (orange circle) might show Jupiter's own four brightest moons. The conjunction will also make a nice photo opportunity.
