Quotes

Fixing global warming is more important than astronomy. David Grinspoon

Astrology is an aesthetic affront. It cheapens astronomy, like using Beethoven for commercial jingles.  Richard Dawkins

The thing I like about astronomy is being  outside at night and seeing the stars in a dark sky. It makes you feel small. Jimmy Walker

I come home from trying to pretend to know about astronomy and physics all day and turn on 'The Real Housewives'. Eddie Redmayne

Stars in Your Eyes
March 27-31 but particularly Tuesday the 28th people  who know where to look can see Jupiter, Venus,
 and Mars. Plus with binoculars or a telescope they can also see Mercury and Uranus. All five planets will be in a line from the western horizon to the moon which will be straight over head.

Ron Hranac, past President of the Denver Astronomical Society gave further directions about where to look.
About 8 PM on Tuesday the 28th Jupiter will be the lowest. Mercury will be above and slightly to the right.Third in line Venus. Then comes Uranus. Mars will be just below the Moon.

If it is warm and a nice night it could be fun to see how many of the five planets you can spot.
