February...The month of Planets

Here comes the February once again to bring you the planets of our solar system. The skies will be dazzled with these planets all throughout the month and don't you afford missing it. All you need to do is just know the timings in which the planets can be seen on your stairs. Let me present you the schedule of planets and their shows.
1. Go upstairs and find the Venus in the south western part of your sky. By the end of the month Venus will be in such a position that it could be seen 4 hours after the sun set.
2. Jupiter can be seen overhead to the left of the Venus.
3. Mercury can be seen up in the sky to the west side of the horizon. The Mercury rises after the late night.
4. Mars will rise in the East , most probably around 8:30 pm.
5. Saturn rises in the East by 11:30 pm after the Mars rises. But the Mars and Saturn can be distinguished by their Orange-red and glow colours, respectively.

So ultimately we have 5 planets dazzling the February night skies, as every time. Don't miss watching any of the 5 planets. Stay glued for more updates. I will keep the blog updating with more info.

Signing off for today yours Pranu :)
