When can I see the planets from Earth?
The five planets will be visible each morning from Jan. 20 to Feb. 20.
EarthSky reports people living in the mid-to-northern latitudes can see Mercury best about an hour and half before dawn. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's about two hours before sunrise. Either way, Feb. 7 is expected to be the best day for viewing our solar system's closest planet to the sun.
If you miss it this time, don't worry. The next five-planet showing will happen again in August.
Where can I see them?
You can see them from anywhere! Just remember to point your attention to the east.
