If anyone wishes to be brave and get up early (just before dawn) anytime between now and mid-February, and look south (just above the horizon), you will see five planets, with the naked eye.  Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and JupiterHappy

You might just about manage to see Venus as it's usually very bright? I haven't looked yet, dead to the world this morning! We've got plenty of time to catch a view.

Too cloudy here this morning - I was awake most of the night and  much too early and hoped for a bonus!  Still plenty of time for some clear skies - very much hope to spot them soon.

I think the end of the month and early Feb will be the best time and the moon probably won't be as bright.Smile

It too was cloudy here early in the morning. Venus can be seen quite clearly most nights at the moment, even in an area of high light pollution.
