Night Sky: the tightest planet alignment this century

Southern Hemisphere only, eastern sky:
this early morning it was a rare opportunity to watch four worlds—Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter—in the closest planetary grouping yet seen this century.
This rare event is happening when these four planets align together in a row. This will happen again, but no sooner than 2040 September (2056 according to other sources)
