Weather won’t permit it here. Last good night we had I had Jupiter and 4 of the moons visible. I could make out the bands even. Wish I could have snapped a pic.
All the planets on one side of the Earth?
OMGosh, That may cause the Earth to tip over !!
The Mayans were right...we’re doomed! :)
Seven planets, one for each Seal. A sure sign of the apocalypse...

Does this mean that Jupiter is with Mars? A dawning of a new Age of Aquarius?
Look down and see an eighth one.

Thanks for the info!
This happened last year:
http://www.space.com/14005-rare-sight-7-planets-visible-skywatching-tips.html
saw the phrase “around 2:30 a.m.” and quit reading.
I thought there were eight planets, or did yet another one get demoted?
Au contraire. If you're out, just look around, and see the eighth, aka, "3rd rock from the Sun" ...
Even though my scope is less than the author's 8", weather makes it a moot endeavor, regardless.
Live at 4800’ ASL west of the Rockies in Colorado. Very little light contamination so star gazing is optimum ... I’ll check it out.
In case anyone is unaware, there is an awesome app out there called Star Walk. With it, you can move your iPhone or iPad around the sky and see what is out there, even on the other side of the Earth. Also will show you where the various satellites and space station are. Coolest app I’ve seen in quite a while. My 7 year old loves it too.
Don’t know about you folks, but, I plan on seeing a bit of the Earth tonight also. That makes 8 for me.
Good luck seeing Mars. It’s on the other side of the Sun, so, it is VERY small and sets just after the Sun.
If you have access to a scope, take a look at Jupiter. I was looking at it Friday Night. Had the scope cranked up to 250x and it looked like a basketball! The air was very still so I could see lots of cloud details. Got to see the Red Spot even.
Mercury is gonna be a tough one too.
Won’t be visible here, wild weather coming in, high winds, thunderstorms, temps dropping from the fifties to the twenties, snow west and north.

Eight if you look down...
