Quote from: Rok on March 22, 2012, 06:57 PMI knew the Evening Star is in fact Venus, but had no idea Jupiter can be spotted so easily.

Planets are actually among the brightest objects in the sky. You can also see Mars in the evening, search for the bright orange point of light in the southeast after sunset. It's actually the third brightest object after Jupiter and Venus.

And U forgot to mention that when Mars "rise up" we can also see Saturn in the southeast at this time of the year..
Mercury is also visible with the naked eye, but he's very rarely on the position to be seen cause he's always somewhere "near" to the Sun from out point of view.. For other planets like Uranus or Neptune U need some good lenses, binoculars or telescope..

Here's Jupiter, Moon and Venus on 26.February:

26th March, conjunction from my point of view:

i have no idea! it happens once in 2 months. i think it could be pluto and stars blackout but not sure.  it looks awesome...

The planet Venus will pass in front of the Sun in less than 12 hours. This won't happen anymore until 2117, so you should take a look if you can! With a proper eye protection (a DVD should be alright for a quick peek) you should be able to see a tiny dot on a solar disk.

The event starts at 22:09 GMT today, ends at 4:49 GMT tomorrow.

Simulation:


I'm waking up before sunrise in order to try to take some photos, but the weather predictions for my location are not quite promising (less than 50% chance of success)

I'm waking up at 3.00 GMT about to watch this passage with my telescope. I hope the weather will be clear

So we will can see the planet Venus in the Sun? Interesting

ya you can see it right now, some1 at work had a telescope

I saw uranus, it's not looking good.

You can also watch it here: http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv

And ye, its just a tiny black ball moving across a big red ball with the speed of HHC finishing the biggest tower rr there is without rope.
