“Saturday evening, January 18: Venus and Saturn will appear nearest to each other. As evening twilight ends at 6:15 p.m. EST, Venus will be 30 degrees above the southwestern horizon with Saturn 2.2 degrees to the lower left. Saturn will set first on the western horizon almost 3 hours later at 9:04 p.m.”

Throughout January, six planets will line up in the night sky, with tonight offering the best chance of viewing the ‘planet parade’. Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars will be visible with the naked eye,
