Over the next few nights early in August 2010, sky watchers should be able to see the planets of Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn in the western night sky. Don't wait too long because Mercury soon disappears!
Mercury has been drowned out by the Sun's glare during this time. However, for the next few nights, the closest planet to the Sun will be visible, along with the other three planets.
The planet Mercury will be positioned to the lower right of the other three planets'”with Saturn at the top, Mars a little bit lower and to the left of Saturn, and Venus still lower and to the right of Saturn.
Venus (called the 'evening star') will be the brightest of the planets seen in the western sky. Saturn will look whitish, while Mars will appear reddish.
Mars and Saturn are only about two degrees apart (astronomers say 1.9 degrees on August 1st), from our (apparent) viewpoint on Earth.
Mercury will be positioned near the horizon, so your best time to see it and the other three will be soon after sunset, as soon as the Sun has totally disappeared under Earth's horizon.
Page two concludes with a picture of the relative positioning of the four planets.
