Concurrence.


Something awesome is happening in the night sky for the next few days. Actually it’s in the sky of the wee morning hours, so it’s not a matter of staying up late, but getting up extra early. During the last week of January and the first week of February five planets will be visible without the aid of a telescope. Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Mercury will be shining bright together for the first time since 2005. The ideal time for viewing this celestial concurrence is about 45 minutes before sunrise.
