Wow.  Check this out - all five naked-eye planets are visible in the evening sky at the moment.  Including Mercury which a lot of people haven't seen before.

Thanks for the link T Rex.

Some odd comments at the bottom though!

"Uranus was apparently visible last month too but I couldn't find it " sorry about that - I obviously wasn't bending over far enough....


LOL! Potty mouth.

Does anyone remember the *Bumhole* sketch on Spitting Image? I still laugh when I think about it...

Right it's a lot clearer tonight, Mars is very clear and very red over the back garden and  Venus and Jupiter looking a little further away than last night. Saturn is there but I can't idientify Mercury.

That'll do it.  It was completely clouded over earlier, I'll have another look tomorrow.

I remember a bumhole (bue moh-lay) sketch on Not The 9 o'clock News Aza.
