Explanation: Look up tonight and see a whole bunch of planets. Just after sunset, looking west, planets Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will all be simultaneously visible. Listed west to east, this planetary lineup will have Venus nearest the horizon, but setting shortly after the Sun. It doesn’t matter where on Earth you live because this early evening planet parade will be visible through clear skies all around the globe. Taken late last month, the featured image captured all of these planets and more: the Moon and planet Mercury were also simultaneously visible. Below visibility were the planets Neptune and Uranus, making this a nearly all-planet panorama. In the foreground are hills around the small village of Gökçeören, Kaş, Turkey, near the Mediterranean coast. Bright stars Altair, Fomalhaut, and Aldebaran are also prominent, as well as the Pleiades star cluster. Venus will rise higher in the sky at sunset as January continues, but Saturn will descend.

说明: 在今晚抬头仰望可见太阳系所有的行星。在刚日落之后往西看，能同时见到金星、土星、木星和火星。在上面这个由西向东的行星排列里，金星离地平线最近，而且会紧随太阳西沉。届时无论你地球何处，只要天空清朗都能见到这个初晚的行星游行。这幅摄于上个月底的主题图像，就记录了上述的这些行星及其他天体，其中同时可见的还有月亮和水星，以及裸视极限之下的海王星和天王星，从而组成这幅几乎聚集所有行星的全景图。图像的前景，则是土耳其卡什邻近地中海岸的小村庄Gökçeören周围的群山。此外，牛郎星、北落师门、毕宿五以及昴宿星团也是图像里很醒目的天体。随着1月流逝，金星在日落时会升得更高，不过土星将逐渐下沉。
