This Friday and Saturday, a truly rare sight unfolds in the morning sky. VMurdockTV has more on the parade of planets:
Five planets will be visible to the naked eye, along with an added bonus that truly makes the event rare, CBS2's Vanessa Murdock reports.
"It took me almost 10 days," he told Murdock."Mercury above a big city like New York City is very challenging... You already have the glow from sunrise, and the same time, it's quite tiny above horizon maybe behind buildings.""They say that one person in 1,000 sees Mercury ever in their entire life and knows they're seeing it. That's how elusive that one planet is," said Mike Shanahan, Planetarium Director at Liberty Science Center.
"The last time this happened actually was December 2004. It's going to happen again in 2040," he explained. He said look toward the horizon in the east to spot Mercury. Follow the parade up and to the southern sky. The display takes up more than 100 degrees of the horizon.
