If you’re an astronomy buff, you may have heard about the “Parade of Planets” in the night sky this week – all seven planets visible at once in the dusk sky through the end of the month. What will the phenomenon look like around the NYC area?

Plenty of times, a single planet is visible in the night sky, and quite often two. Three or more simultaneously is less common, but not particularly rare. Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have all been shining overhead for the past several weeks and on clear nights can easily be seen with the naked eye.
