Have you seen the "planetary parade" after sunset? It's getting a lot of media attention, partly because Jupiter is about to sink into the Sun's glare and ruin it, but you can still glimpse some or all or five planets naked-eye and with binoculars this week.
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus and Mars are all visible right after sunset—though Jupiter and Mercury could be tricky depending on where you observe from. Get somewhere high with a clear view of the western horizon to watch the sunset.

CONNECTICUT — In the words of that great astrophysicist Yogi Berra, "It ain't over 'til it's over."
Timing is everything. Venus doesn't set until about 10:15 p.m. local time, but the views of Jupiter and Mercury are fleeting.
Former Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin tweeted about it. "Don't forget to look to the sky the end of the month for the planetary alignment, which will have at least five planets — plus the moon — all visible in almost an arc shape as seen from Earth."
