Laptop Battery The closest gathering of the five bright planets in a lifetime has about nine more nights of maximum interest left - including some of the best sights. The most opportune time to look remains about 9 p.m. each day. If you go out around then and look west you will first see the brightest point of light in the sky, the planet Venus.
Fly on virtual 3D tours of Mars and Venus, observe the moons of Jupiter up close, and even witness the birth and death of stars and galaxies.
Thinkpad About "20 degrees" (two widths of your fist at arm's length) to the upper left of Venus is the second-brightest planet, Jupiter. Very much closer to Venus for the next seven nights is tremendously dimmer Mars. And not far below Venus and Mars is Saturn, a lot brighter than Mars.

Microsoft The last of the five planets in the gathering is Mercury, about one fist's width to the lower right of Venus. But Mercury is quickly fading. Even expert observers using binoculars might have trouble finding it in a few days.
Venus trine Mars Your relationships benefit as Venus, the planet of love, and Mars, the planet of desire, form a harmonious aspect. Make reservations at your favorite restaurant for a romantic evening. Don't have a mate right now Since Mars is retrograde, contact somebody from your past. Google an old flame, pick up the phone or send an email. You won't want to be alone now. Sun sextile Neptune
Laptop Computers Tonight: The four planets other than Jupiter form an array so compact they fit behind one fist at arm's length. Weather permitting, the South Jersey Astronomy Club will hold a free public Skywatch at Belleplain State Forest at nightfall. For information, call the rangers at Belleplain at (609) 861-2404.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Laptop Computer Wednesday: Mars is only 1 degree upper left of Venus, or less than the width of your little finger at arm's length.

Desktop Computer Thursday: Venus and Mars are about one-half a degree apart.
Notebooks Friday: Venus and Mars are the closest together in the sky - less than one-third of a degree apart. They are dramatic with the naked eye or binoculars by 9 p.m. If you have a good telescope, use medium or even higher power to see the currently small-looking globes of the two planets together in the same field of view.
Lenovo Saturday: Venus and Mars are about three-fourths of a degree apart. Venus now is almost directly above Mars. Saturn is just more than 5 degrees (half a fist-width) below them and Venus, Mars, Saturn and Mercury now span just more than 10 degrees.
Hard Drive Sunday: Venus and Mars still are only about one and one-quarter of a degree apart, and the five planets achieve their minimum concentration of 33 degrees. In other words, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn and (probably too dim) Mercury form a span just over three fist-widths long.
Travelstar Monday: Look very low in the west-southwest at 9 p.m. or earlier to see a new visitor to the planetary array: a beautifully slender crescent moon. The moon is about 3 degrees left of now too-dim Mercury, and about 10 degrees lower right of Venus. But the next night it will form a breathtaking tight triangle with Venus and Mars - one which I will tell you about here next week.
Gateway Comet notes: Last week's comet, Utsunomiya, should by now be too dim to see low in the dusk. But the fine comet of the past few months called Ikeya-Zhang should still be visible in binoculars and really interesting in telescopes.
Laptop Parts Experienced observers can look for Comet Ikeya-Zhang just south of the head of Draco after the sky is fully dark tonight. On Friday night, Ikeya-Zhang is just a few degrees from the globular star cluster M92.
