The position of all of the planets in our solar system magically lined up in the early morning night sky.
This photo is taken on June 24th at 5:29am, just as Mercury rose and moments before brightening dawn overtook its glow.

While waiting for Mercury to rise, the International Space Station made a cameo at 4:53am, sliding under Saturn and above Jupiter, Mars, Moon and Venus before fading into the distance.
Then I was inspired the next day to capture each planet as it rose over the horizon.
The result was a time lapse of 1,030 images taken starting at 12:09am and finishing at 5:36am
