All the Planets, Tonight!

That’s right. An average amateur astronomer could potentially espy all the planets of the solar system besides Earth, tonight. The challenges are Mercury and Neptune, now that Pluto has been downgraded.

Yes. You would just need to get a clean line of sight on the western horizon post Ogma, and have a little patience with Neptune. The rest are easy. Even Uranus is easy.

Why Crumby might actually go out himself. In particular, Crumby might espy the close disposition of Venus, Mars and Saturn. That’s assuming somebody has eaten most of the mosquitoes.
