Skywatch: Planets galore this week!

This week is one for planet lovers, as the five planets visible to the naked eye can be found in the sky! Mars and Venus will be visible around nightfall each evening. Venus will be a little lower in the sky and will appear MUCH brighter than her reddish counterpart.Asteroid Vesta will be easier to see this week because it reaches opposition on Tuesday night. That means it'll be opposite the sun in the night sky. It's the brightest asteroid in the asteroid belt even though it's not the largest.
