If you get up any morning for the next few weeks, you\u2019ll be treated to the sight of all the planets except Saturn arrayed along the ecliptic, the path of the sun through the sky.<\/p>\n

Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are visible, and you can add Uranus and Neptune to your count if you have binoculars or a small telescope.<\/p>\n
