The five bright planets that will be lined up in a diagonal line, from left to right, are Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter. Only distant Uranus, Neptune and Pluto won't be in on the show. (While Neptune and Pluto can only be seen with a telescope, Uranus can occasionally be spotted with a sharp eye in a dark sky).
All five bright planets will appear together in the morning sky from about [pre-dawn, southern sky] January 20 to February 20. The waning crescent moon will also make an appearance toward the end of January.
