Look up – you have a prime seat to a stellar sky show all month long!
This week, you’ll be able to get a view of four planets along one line in the night sky: Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. Thanks to patented telescope technology, you might also get a bonus view with Uranus and Neptune.
Our friends at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration have said planets always appear in a line in the sky, so the alignment itself isn’t unique, but it’s not often you get to see four or five at once.
The best time to look for the planets is the first couple hours after dark. That’s when Venus and Saturn will be in the southwest, Jupiter will be overhead and Mars will be in the east.
