Visible planetsSkywatchers will have multiple opportunities to spot the planets in our sky during certain mornings and evenings throughout 2021, according to The Farmer's Almanac planetary guide. It's possible to see most of these with the naked eye, with the exception of distant Neptune, but binoculars or a telescope will provide the best view. Mercury will look like a bright star in the morning sky from Feb. 28 to March 20, June 27 to July 16, and Oct. 18 to Nov. 1. It will shine in the night sky from Jan. 15 to Jan. 31, May 3 to May 24, Aug. 31 to Sept. 21 and Nov. 29 to Dec. 31. Mars makes its reddish appearance in the morning sky between Nov. 24 and Dec. 31 and will be visible in the evening sky between Jan. 1 and Aug. 22.
