WATCH THE SKIES :

Our astronomy and jazz correspondent, Glenn Dryfoos, informs us : Right now, at sun down, all 5 visible planets can be seen, stretched in a long line from Mercury (in the glow of sunset, slightly north of due west) up to Jupiter (high in the western sky, slightly south of due east)...and, of course, you can also see a sixth planet...Earth...

Here's a picture that shows you what to look for....when you move your cursor on the picture, it labels the planets and other visible sights.
