Tonight should be a sight for sore eyes \u2014 weather permitting, of course. Five planets \u2014 Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus and Mars \u2014 will all line up near the Moon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to NASA, you should look to the western horizon right after sunset. The planets will stretch from the horizon line to around halfway up the night sky.\u00a0
Both Mercury and Jupiter will dip below the horizon by about half an hour after sunset, so the spectacle will only last a short time.\u00a0
The five-planet spread can be seen from anywhere on Earth \u2014 as long as you have a view to the west, and clear skies.\u00a0
Happy planet watching!
