                                         Earth Sky

There are five planets that can be seen with naked eye on the sky before dawn are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. Jupiter rises first in the evening hours, followed by Mars after midnight and then Saturn, Venus and Mercury appear. We can make observations from any city of the world. For instance from Lahore which is at 3133.2' N, 7421.4' E latitude and longitude in the globe. January 30, 2016 all the five planets in the morning sky appeared.
From now to February20, 2016 all the planets would appear on the sky before dawn. This is first time in a decade that all the five planets also called so called naked eye planets are appearing before dawn. It is not easy to find the planets because you need a lot of skywatching so that you could pick the planets out of sky filled with stars.
