Five Planets Lined Up for Rare Evening Show

Five planets are arrayed across the evening sky in a spectacular night show that won’t be back for another three decades, astronomers said.

For the next two weeks, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn -- the five closest planets -- should be easily visible at dusk, along with the moon.

Stargazers should look to the western horizon after sunset. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn will be lined up in the sky with Jupiter close to the eastern horizon. They will span about 135 degrees.
