A Gathering of Planets

[Jo]

Every few years or so, something wonderful happens: all five naked-eye planets appear in the evening sky at the same time. You can walk outside after dinner, and without any kind of telescope, see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/19mar_planets.htm?list984641

Shit like this fascinates me, and I went outside to watch one night back in late March. I remember back in August, Mars was also visible by itself, and you could see the red glow it emitted. Really neat stuff. And you probably won't see this again in your lifetime.

Seeing mars was a trip.
