various planets in view atm

Nothing to do with satellites, but if its clear tomorrow evening have a look out to the south west as the sun sets - you will see Jupiter & Venus close together and a spectacular sight. Venus is the brighter one to the right. If you are very lucky you might glimpse Mercury as well. Its difficult to see as it never gets very far from the sun but its faint and pinkish low down near the sunset. Mars is bright and easy to see - in the east this time - a sullen red colour.

I think Saturn is visible as well in the south, although its been reasonably cloudy here recently and I havent had a chance to have a proper look.

Venus & Jupiter were a beautiful sight early this evening.

They have been geting steadily close in the past week, well within the 'fist at arms length' yesterday.

Astrologers are predicting thousands of sheep will be wearing woolly jumpers whilst these planets are in alignment.
