Skywatchers and Astronomy Buffs Rejoice

Nicholas Morea

From Jan. 20 until Feb. 20, star-gazers will be able to put away their telescopes and view 5 planets with the naked eye.

Mercury, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and Mars will be visible 45 minutes before sunrise.

In addition to the planets, Comet Catalina will be racing across the sky sometime this week as well.
