Today marks a very special night for viewing the planets. About 30 minutes after sundown the planets Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will be within two degrees of each other in the sky. This will not happen again until 2026. The planets are likely to be visible without a telescope but a telescope would make it really cool!

Happy Stargazing!
