from http://beachconnection.net - an added bonus for astronomy buffs has been taking place recently, with a gathering of Jupiter, Venus and the moon in the predawn skies around Portland. This will continue for a while longer, visible around 4 – 5:30 a.m., in the east. The crescent moon is joined by the two planets for an interesting layout of three bright spots in the sky.

I assume that the brighter one is Venus, and the other one is Jupiter. I had seen this several times in the last week, and wondered which planets they could be - Thanks for letting us know!
