From 6:30 a.m., the planet close to the sun can be found for a good half hour above the south-eastern horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Venus<\/strong> ends its time as a morning star, at the end of November it only rises during twilight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mars<\/strong> is still not represented in the night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jupiter<\/strong> in Gemini heralds the start of its opposition period - the best observation time for the giant planet has begun.
