You can see up to 5 planets in the sky tonight, and luckily you dont have to stay up all night waiting for them because most of them will be out this evening. Look southwest about an hour after sunset, and youll see Mars, Venus and Mercury (Mercury will be the toughest to spot, but doable even without binoculars!) -- youll have to catch these ones fast, as theyll be setting by late evening. Look east during the early to mid evening hours to see Jupiter! Jupiter is VERY bright, so you should be able to pick it out among the stars with ease. If youre up early, before dawn Saturn will be visible in the southeastern sky. The only problem? Youll be battling the clouds tonight :( However, if you get a break in the clouds where you are though, try to sneak a peek of the planets! Its always cool when you can see them with the naked eye!
