Author's Notes: Two bright planets are in the evening sky. Look for Evening Star Venus in the west-southwest. Venus moves high in the sky. The moon is in the western evening sky after sunset. Mars marches eastward in western Gemini, near Castor's foot.

Special Note: The five-planet parade that is mentioned in the current press is very difficult to impossible to see. Jupiter and Mercury are binocular objects that are very low in the sky during bright twilight. Uranus is in the same binocular field with Venus. Mars is the second planet visible without optical assistance. Better yet, watch the moon move through Taurus and Gemini.
