Four planets will huddle close together, visible to the naked eye, in the predawn sky next week, according to the editors of StarDate magazine.
"The best view is from the southern states because the path the planets follow across the sky (the ecliptic) stands at a little higher angle relative to the horizon," the magazine's editors said.
"Peak streak" time arrives for meteor showers
Venus and Jupiter will be easy to spot hanging low in the east as dawn brightens on May 10. They are the brightest objects in the night sky after the Moon. Venus, the brighter of the two, will be to the right of Jupiter.
Mercury will be visible to the lower right of Venus, about the same distance from Venus to Jupiter. It won't be as bright but its proximity to Venus will help you find it. To the lower left of Jupiter you'll find Mars, which may be too low and faint to see without the aid of binoculars.
StarDate magazine is a bi-monthly publication of The University of Texas at Austin McDonald Observatory, which houses many telescopes responsible for a wide range of astronomical research. McDonald Observatory is also pioneering the next generation of astronomical research as a founding partner of the Giant Magellan Telescope.

They won't cluster. All will be at an End by Saturday.
Nope, try again.
Dave, you got some cahones arguing with God lol
The thing I don't understand is you believe there is air to breath, but you cant see it and that is exactly how Jehovah works. We cant see Him but oh believe he is doing some things in each and everyones lives.
Agreed. Jehovah's plan is in motion. Satan has blinded the minds of the unbelievers. There isn't much time left to this system of things – and that is "good news".
You actually can see and feel air. You simply have to add water vapor and motion to it.
So nice to see your lovely comment! : )
Interesting comment full of non-fact, but I don't see what it has to do with the article.
come on. the point isn't "do we believe in God".. the point is "do we believe the latest crackpot theory predicting the end of the earth"... yes to the first, no to the second.
and, while i believe in god, i do have to say the first part of your statement is bunk as well. Air, which is a combination of various gases. has been proven to exist using the scientific method. we can monitor air. we can detect the presence of air with our 5 senses. we can measure the ratio of gases in the air. we can tell how much moisture the air contains. God has never been proven with the scientific method, or any other method beyond conjecture and faith. sorry, but Air is a FACT.
All right! A celestial barbeque!
i had miss out this scene, will it ever happen again? http://jasonstathamworkoutx.org/
Time to throw you out of the house again...
What?
Just what the world of science needs, another religious whack-job commenting on some fairy-tale story that has nothing to do with the article.
orly?
Ohhhhhhhhkay then.
...........................nut-job.
Ok, I'll replace the word "we" with the word "me". You do as you wish. Sorry that I offended all of you.
Cuckoo...cuckooo...cuckoo
If that is the case, the instructions said to love one another.
Someday an entire group of people will read some manuscript that Osama Bin Laden wrote, and they too will be nut jobs. They'll believe in nonsense and make "connections" between reality and fantasy.
Time to take your medication and lay down for a while
I can take that many different ways Philip , really dont want to speculate though until you explain. Have a great week. And I am working on myself.
