    Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn! All arrayed accross the night sky. They say this will not occur again for another 32 years!

    Occasionly all the planets are on the same side of the sun.

    O...Happy Birthday Baby!

    They will also be this way in the sky at dawn in December of this year and January of 2005 and January and February of 2016.

    Jason Davis astromer of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History has a formula for finding them. Start with venus in the west, a bright planet that can be seen befor sunset. Look below it to find Mercury, a planet so low in the sky it is lost in the horizon haze. Useing Venus, look above to find the red planet Mars. Saturn, in the sw is not far from Orion in the south. 's The brightest constellation in the sky is Jupiter in the east.

    "Stars twinkle. Planets don't"

    According to the 'Plain Dealer' Monday would be the best day to see the show. So far, I can only see light pollution.
