Although the planet display which may be seen every night this week is undoubtedly interesting, the Harvard Observatory staff does not consider it a remarkable phenomenon.
According to officials, the formation is not significant astronomically because the planets have at times been as close together as at present. It does not often happen, however, that they can be seen so well.
About an hour after sunset one will be able to see five planets, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury, in the southwestern sky. It may be hard, however, to distinguish between the smaller planets and the nearby stars.
