A
unique event is occurring the first week of this month that gives us
a chance to get up and get out to enjoy nature…the alignment of
five planets in the southeast sky.
The
only equipment needed is a hot cup of your favorite beverage, a coat,
hat and gloves. For the best viewing, wake up 30 to 60 minutes
before the sun rises and look along the horizon to the southeast.
Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter should all be shining bright
and visible with the naked eye.
The
study of the planets, stars and galaxies have always fascinated me
and remind me of how beautiful and vast our universe is. Take a
moment to enjoy the morning sky, embrace the quiet and be glad that
we have places surrounding us where there are no lights, not a lot of
people and we can just be.
