Grab your telescopes and look to the heavens, because four of our solar system’s planet will be visible in the night sky this month, according to a video posted to YouTube earlier this week by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.
The video, narrated by JPL astronomer and senior outreach specialist for the US space agency’s Cassini mission to Saturn Jane Houston Jones, revealed that at different times during the month of May, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn will all be visible to stargazers.
Mercury and Venus
Mercury and Venus will become visible in the west-northwest part of the sky approximately one hour after sunset during the early part of the month. To see Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, you should look about 10 degrees above the horizon.
