5 Planets Aligned
 

I hope this isn't a duplicate post, but I took a look at this tonight...it is really quite spectacular.... Jupiter is really bright and amazing. I could pick out Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, however, the lights of Wien and the buildings kept me from seeing Venus and Mercury.

Check it out!!! Sehr Cool!!!

When I used to live father north of the city my neighbor was an astronomy buff. I went over from time to time to look at various cool things with his telescope. I don't what the lights of "Wien" are like, but Philly is way too bright for me to see anything good. :( Maybe I can go back and see him in the next two weeks and check this out. Thanks for the heads up!

I'd love an opertuity to see more astonomy related things but unfortuantly I live in an area with an insane amount of light pollution...
