April 18, 2026 night sky snapshot (pre-dawn) Very low in the pre-dawn east, Saturn, Mars, Mercury, and Neptune are all near each other. They will be hard to see because they are low to the horizon in the pre-dawn glare. And, Neptune would require a telescope. (Pasadena, California. Latitude: about 34 degrees north.)
