If you are a skywatcher, it’s a good time to see the planets.
Gregory Arkos, with the Department of Physics, Engineering and Astronomy at Vancouver Island University says Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars are all pretty close to us right now….
Tomorrow night (Wed) Arkos says Saturn will be very close to us in the southern sky in the Milky Way around midnight and you should be able to see the rings with a telescope or binoculars.
He says Venus is very bright in the western sky, especially at sunset.
And, Mars is getting closer too, he says, there’s a dust storm underway right now, but if that clears up you should be able to see polar ice caps and the like with binoculars in the southeast sky.
It will be brilliant red.
