Four Planets And a Moon

image by Stefano De Rosa, Monate Lake, North-West of Italy

The lovely celestial scene shows an old Moon (with its earthshine) forming a triangle with Saturn and the bright Venus, all of them reflecting their light on the calm water of the lake. Below on the left of the "triangle", Mercury is emerging from twilight to complete the predawn conjunction.
