the visible sky | during the rest of the month, 5 different planets will be visible to the eye from earth at night | The sky show will be at its best from late March into the first days of April: the five brightest naked-eye planets will all be simultaneously in view in the early evening sky from roughly 45 to 90 minutes after sunset | In addition, from March 22 through April 2, the Moon will traverse the scene and on some evenings will appear to pass close to this or that world |
Not until April 2036 will there be another chance to readily see all five naked-eye planets at the same time in the evening |
