Posted by Fred Steiner on February 29, 2012 - 3:54pm

Icon viewers are in for a rare site in the sky on the evening of March 1. For the first time in nearly a decade, sky-watchers will be able to see all five naked-eye planets over the course of one night for several nights in a row.

The classical naked-eye planets-Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn-can be seen easily without optical aids and so have been known since ancient times.

But the quintet hasn't appeared together during a single night since 2004.
