A red triangle, helmed by the baleful red eye of Aldebaran, will be visible before the light of dawn
Extremely early risers will have a special treat this week, as the moon meets two planets in a patch of sky already studded with bright stars. The chart shows the view looking east from London at 04.00 (BST) on the morning of 28 August.
The planets will have climbed to a comfortable altitude by this time, but the dawn will not yet have begun to encroach on the darkness. The bright white beacon of Jupiter will be easy to spot, as will the waning crescent moon.
