all five planets are now visible to the naked eye. mer, venus, mars, jup, sat. look up to the western sky and mer. will be lowest near the horizon . the rest go upward toward the east or south.

its really cool. but it makes you feel really small.

Am I too late to see this? Don't know much about astronomy, but I live in Bermuda where up on my roof it's pitch black with little ambient light.

I regularly sit up there in the summer for the sunset, or whatever.

When/where's the best time to look?


Thanks

Do you like living in Bermuda? Sounds nice.
