Special Star Watching Nights

Some of my friends are talking about some special things going on in the night sky over this next month or so. There are some special alignments of the planets that means that on some nights we can see three planets very clearly, and Venus will be totally HUGE to the naked eye.

And then there will be a short period when we can actually see five planets in the night sky at the same time. You don’t even have to go use a big telescope or anything – you just have to know where to look. I am going to check that out – I think the stars and planets are very cool.
