Nice pic. And spectacular even in the city. Followed by Jupiter, Saturn Mars and Mercury. And I think Neptune and Uranus would have been there with binocs? Does this happen often? |

Sorry. I did't make myself clear. I meant all visible in one night. No inferior conjunctions etc. |

No inferior conjunctions etc. | No - there's nothing unusual about the current distribution of the sun, moon and planets around the ecliptic [zodiac path] eg all fairly evenly placed as Cartes du Ciel grab from this morning Now and again a 'bunching' of planets etc occurs called conjunctions that get the silly astrologers excited   |

Thanks Nytecam, I was puzzling over what planet was near the moon, very clear this evening/ night.
