Star and Planet Sky Location Information

-- | November 11, 2014

Question: Could you generate an image of the planetary alignment on September 26th, 2014? — Branden

Answer: I think that you are probably looking for night sky planet positions for a given date. One of the best sources for this information is the Sky and Telescope This Week’s Sky at a Glance. Each week Sky and Telescope produces a nice summary of bright star and planet alignments that can guide you as to where to look for these objects in the sky.
