Watch 3 Planets after Sunset this weekend!

Be sure to look up tonight and the next few nights!

Check out the western horizon just after sunset. The grouping of Venus, Saturn, and Mercury low in the west-northwest should not to be missed!

Venus, the brightest of the three, sits in the middle and will be visible first as it starts to gets dark. Next you'll spot Mercury about one degree to Venus' lower right and then Saturn about two and half degrees to Venus' upper left. Then watch as these three planets in a row follow the sun and disappear below the horizon.

Timing is critical! Start about 30 minutes after sunset. Make sure you have a clear view of the horizon!
