So, let's try that again. Mercury sets about within eight minutes of Mars, so take a look towards the west to see if you can spot either of those two objects. We've got Jupiter stationary today, meaning that if you take a look at Jupiter, it will neither appear to move forward nor backward relative to the background skies. Jupiter is rising about 9 p.m. this evening. Look for Jupiter to the southeast in the evening and follow it across the sky, the night sky, as it sets in the early morning hours before dawn. Jupiter is in a constellation of 9.9 minus 2.4. And we've got Saturn, will be stationary on the 28th. Saturn is rising about 2.30 in the afternoon, the night sky, as it sets in the early afternoon sky, soon after sunset. Saturn is in a constellation of Aquarius shining at magnitude 0.8. And then we've got Uranus. Uranus will be at opposition on the 21st, rising as the sun sets. Uranus is rising right now about 5 p.m., just a few minutes after 5 p.m. this week. Uranus is at its best and brightest for the year this month. Look for Uranus to the south in the evening. Uranus is in the constellation of Taurus shining at magnitude 5.6.
