Down in the Puna District on the Big Island of Hawaii, we
are having a spectacular night-time opportunity during April to view FIVE
planets. As you might imagine, the air
quality here is amazing – and one of the reasons there are a number of
international telescopes atop Mauna Kea.
Here’s a list of the planets we are able to see right now:
 |
| "Star Trails Over Mauna Kea" (Astrom. Soc. of the Pacific) |
- Brilliant Venus in west dusk until mid-evening
- Fading Mars sets soon behind the sun
- Bright Jupiter from dusk until late night
- Saturn rises at mid-to-late evening
- Mercury at dusk in second half of April

I got lucky the other night with my own photo.
