   Explanation: Simultaneous images from four cameras were combined to
   construct this atmospheric predawn skyscape. [5]The cooperative
   astro-panorama captures all the [6]planets of the Solar System, just
   before sunrise on June 24. That foggy morning found innermost planet
   Mercury close to the horizon but just visible against the twilight,
   below and left of brilliant Venus. Along with the waning crescent Moon,
   the other [7]bright naked-eye planets, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn lie
   near the ecliptic, arcing up and to the right across the wide field of
   view. Binoculars would have been required to spot the much fainter
   planets Uranus and Neptune, though they also were along the ecliptic in
   the sky. In the foreground are excavations at an ancient Roman villa
   near Marina di San Nicola, Italy, [8]planet Earth.
