Mercury is at its greatest heliocentric latitude north. Venus is at perihelion. Earliest sunrise of the year from latitude 40 degrees north occurs today. The Galilean satellites Europa and Callisto are equidistant from the axis of Jupiter and are only 27" apart at 1:43 UT. Pluto (magnitude 13.8) is at opposition at 3:00 UT.
