Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus and Mars will gather near the moon in a planet parade.
NEW YORK — Keep an eye on the sky this week for a chance to see a planetary hangout.WHERE AND WHEN CAN YOU SEE THEM?
The planets will stretch from the horizon line to around halfway up the night sky. But don’t be late: Mercury and Jupiter will quickly dip below the horizon around half an hour after sunset. Maybe. Jupiter, Venus and Mars will all be pretty easy to see since they shine brightly, Cooke said. Venus will be one of the brightest things in the sky, and Mars will be hanging out near the moon with a reddish glow. Mercury and Uranus could be trickier to spot, since they will be dimmer. You’ll probably need to grab a pair of binoculars.
