Eight Planets to See...

 ...and More...  This is a pretty auspicious display of all the other planets in our system.  All of the major planets in this solar system, eight of them, are able to be seen from our vantage point at this time.  This is pretty rare.  Of course you can't see all of them with eyes alone.  It takes some time to look at the whole line.  Pluto rises at around 11:00 PM, and then you can see the whole line of planets stream over the eastern horizon until dawn.  Having a relatively powerful telescope will help a lot...
