The Planet Parade Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn are all in the night sky this month. However, it’s tricky to see them all together. If you look to the west as soon as it gets dark, you'll see Venus and Saturn, while Jupiter is in the east. Venus will likely have sunk below the horizon by the time Mars appears below Jupiter. Uranus and Neptune are not visible to the naked eye you will need a telescope. We will NOT be holding a special viewing for this event.
