Hearing Oh Sherrie -- Steve Perry

Look to the Skies


A nice bit of astronomical fun, which was passed on to me by avid skywatcher RubySlippers4Me: Five planets will be visible in the early morning sky from tomorrow morning through January. It's worth getting up for, because the next time you'll be able to see all these planets in the same sky with your naked eye will be in 2016. And who knows what will happen between now and then? Will I be out looking? You know I will.
