Find five planets in February sky

February is a great month to stargaze, except you aren’t going to be looking for stars but planets instead. Two planets are visible right after sunset, and three planets are visible before sunrise. If the clouds are limited, it is worth trying to find them all.

First, about an hour before sunrise, look to the southeast sky. In a diagonal line, you’ll see Mars on the top followed by Jupiter and then Saturn. Through the month of February, between 6:30 and 7 a.m., look to the south/southeast. The three planets line up and should be easy to see. On February 17, the moon will still be out so find it first and it will guide your eyes to the planets.
