All Planets in the Solar System Have Aligned.

Just in case you are interested in something like this.  It should be clear this evening.  

Just saw this on a Facebook news feed and looked at the sky map for my area and its right.   Only planet that you could not see starting at dusk is Mars.  

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can be seen with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune can be observed with binoculars or a telescope.

I'll try and take a look.

It's too cold to go out and look.

Maybe thats why it's so cold !

I must admit that here in VA (at my daughters home) I did not go out and look. It was cold but she lives in a fairly well lite area (big sub-division) so.. could have only seen the bright ones (oh and no good horizon views).

Thats my excuse for being lazy......

I saw Mars and Jupiter.  Venus, Mercury and Saturn had slipped below the horizon by the time I went out.

I will have to bring the telescope to one of the InZane "things".   Just for fun....Not the coming one but it is a good location, just need to get away from the city lights.
