You can take a trip through the solar system this week without ever leaving Earth.
Sort of.
According to a CNN article, though, you can get a look at seven other planets — Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Venus, Uranus and Mercury will all be visible during different times of the day.
The report said that Venus and Mercury will be easiest to see in the mornings. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune will be easier to see at night.
The report calls it a “cosmic coincidence.”
So, if you’ve been considering buying a telescope, it’s go-time, and the story said that sales of telescopes have been on sale with an increase of 60-to-400 percent since the pandemic began.
If you have your telescope or are picking one up for the big week ahead, the story recommends that “novice sky watchers,” keep an eye open for Saturn because it, and it’s rings, will be the easiest to pick up in the sky.
