View all SEVEN planets in one night!

The early evening sees the first four listed below. Later in the evening, around midnight, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are visible too.

The following link is to a Sky and Telescope map showing the position of these three for this year:

You will need at least a pair of 50mm binoculars to see Uranus and Neptune, but definetly possible- I did it last year with binos from my home in Sydney.

Happy hunting.
