Default Planet Jupiter next to crescent Moon
Go out now and you'll see the planet Jupiter next to the Moon.

Quote:
For early risers in the British Isles, Jupiter can be found in the constellation of Virgo low in the east-southeast from 4am GMT. For those of you not prepared to brave the cold of such small hours, the 25-day-old waning crescent Moon lies within the same binocular field of view as the magnitude -1.8 largest planet at the start of nautical twilight on Friday 25 November. Look low in the southeast around 6:30am GMT to see this beautiful conjunction.
