Rare Five-Planet Alignment Visible

Wed, Mar 24, 2004

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Five planets are arrayed across the evening sky in a spectacular night show that won’t be back for another three decades.

For the next two weeks, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn — the five closest planets — should be easily visible at dusk, along with the moon.

A very spectacular sight to see. Now, if only I have a telescope.
