After Sunset Planet Parade
Explanation: Look up tonight and see a whole bunch of planets. Just after sunset, looking west, planets
Venus,
Saturn,
Jupiter and
Mars will all be
simultaneously visible. Listed west to east, this planetary lineup will have Venus nearest the horizon, but setting shortly after the Sun. It doesn't matter where on
Earth you live because this early evening
planet parade will be visible through clear skies all around the globe. Taken late last month, the featured image captured all of these planets and more: the
Moon and planet
Mercury were also simultaneously visible. Below visibility were the planets
Neptune and
Uranus, making this a nearly
all-planet panorama. In the foreground are hills around the small village of Gökçeören,
KaÅ,
Turkey, near the
Mediterranean coast. Bright stars
Altair,
Fomalhaut, and
Aldebaran are also prominent, as well as the
Pleiades star cluster. Venus will
rise higher in the sky at sunset as January continues, but Saturn will descend.
