March is going to be a great time to planet gaze. Five planets will be visible on March 28: Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Uranus.

Venus will be one of the easier ones to see. It will be the biggest planet in the sky. Look to the west to see Venus after sunset.

Mars will also be easier to identify. It will appear red and bright, high in the southwest sky.

Will the Solar System turn over?

[BenLurkin]

I hope so.

Things will be right-side up again.

A spectacular syzygy.

It usually has to, to see Uranus.

Bonus: If you look down you’ll see another planet! That makes six!

[HYPOCRACY]

Ha! Just looked it up. Good word.

Yes, but with ALL those planets visible at the same time, will Guam tip over?

Heading up to Cherry Spring tomorrow for 2 nights, weather is looking iffy, I am hopeful that the sky will be clear... looking forward to seeing the stars.. (and planets) been way too long.

If they get close enough, we might see an enactment of the “six-body problem.”

Basically you’ll just see Venus and Mars if you look early enough.

Jupiter and Mercury on 3/28 will be only 10° separated from the Sun. So maybe if you are on a ship crossing the equator in the middle of the ocean then maybe you might see them, other then that, there’s no chance of seeing either one.
