Planets Visible Now
For January 2008
Mercury
Mercury is in the southwest evening sky, getting slightly better as the month progresses up to its greatest eastern elongation on the 22nd. Shortly after that it will decline and be lost by the end of the month. Venus
Venus still rules the predawn eastern sky. It is not as bright and perhaps not quite as prominent as it was several months ago, but it remains un-missable. A think Crescent Moon passes near it on the 4th and 5th. Mars
Mars is slightly past its December prime but still bright and easily found in Taurus. It is in the northeastern heavens at sunset, highest late in the evening, and goes down in the northwest at about sunrise. Jupiter
Jupiter is in Sagittarius, in the morning sky, but too close to the Sun to be seen easily at the beginning of the month. Observing becomes easier as the month goes on. By the end of the month it is approaching Venus in the southeastern morning twilight. Venus passes about a half degree away on the morning of Feb. 1. Saturn
Saturn is in Leo, rising in the late evening at the beginning of the month (4-5 hours after sunset). By the end of the month is rises only 2-3 hours after sunset and thereafter can be seen the rest of the night. Look for the Moon nearby on the evening of the 24th and before dawn on the 25th.
