  This month, some 30 minutes before the sunrise, look to the East, and if the sky is not too cloudy you will see Mercure, Venus, Mars and Jupiter very close, so close that it will be possible to hide them with an outstretched hand.
  
  This will be happening from May the 11th and during the whole month, just changing the shape of this four planets group.
  
  On May the 13th for example, Mercure, Venus and Jupiter are expected to form a nearly perfect equilateral triangle.
  Geometrical lesson before breakfast!
  
  Advice for the observation : Mars might be no so shiny as the other ones. Maybe It will be necesarry to use binoculars.
  
  The phenomene will end on May the 30th, when the Moon will join the other planets : 5 celestial points in the East sky.
  
  So, as Gandalf the White said : "look to [their] coming on the first light of the day, at dawn, look to the east."
