It is hard for many people to see if they live in cities with all of the lights. I think the clearest I have seen stars is maybe from a sailboat in the Atlantic or else from high on a remote mountain.

It’s amazing sight.

We spend so much of our time every day existing that we forget what just “living” is ... and sometimes seeing an amazing thing like that brings you back to reality.

I appreciate your posting that. Thank you.

Of course these planets, as any of the occasionally 5 (total) naked eye planets, can be seen from just about anywhere, especially the really bright ones like Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. Venus at this time is in the early morning sky, rising in the east around 5 or 5:30AM. Surely a beautiful sight as it is right along side the crescent moon. Mercury is a far more difficult challenge. Current it is very near to the sun, rising just prior to it.
