I live in singapore. what planets can i see ??

Answer 1

Hi Timmy!

Right now (11:30 p.m. Singapore Time on December 24th) you can see Mars. A second, Saturn, is just rising now and will come out after midnight. A third, Venus, will rise later this morning.

1) In the evening sky, you'll find Mars. It's already up in the northeast as soon as the sky gets dark. You can't miss Mars because in the evening it's the brightest object in the night sky, except for the moon. Coincidentally, Mars is at its brightest for the entire year tonight, and will remain so for the next month into January.

You don't need a marker to help find Mars, but this Christmas Eve you'll get one anyway: the full moon! You'll see the full moon immediately below Mars. Even though the moon is dazzling, Mars is still bright enough not to be washed out.

2) Saturn rises around midnight. Look due east. Saturn is the brightest object in that part of the sky, although not comparable to Mars.

3) The brightest planet of all comes out in the wee hours of the morning, Venus. It doesn't rise until around 5 a.m. in Singapore, but when it does it far outshines Mars and Saturn combined. Once Venus is up, you can see all three planets in the sky for the next couple hours until morning: Venus coming up in the east, Saturn nearly overhead, and Mars heading down in the west.

Answer 2

Depends what time of day or night. At night you can see mars a bright red starlike disc close to the moon. At 7 in the morning you can see venus and during the day you can just see mercury and jupiter near the sun!

Answer 3

Mars is currently at opposition, so is visible all night. Saturn rises around 11 p.m. and is visible the rest of the night. Venus rises around 5 a.m. Jupiter and Mercury are too close to the Sun to be observed right now.

Answer 4

You should be able to see all of them if you have a good enough set of charts and a good enough scope. Of course, you cannot see them all tonight. Jupiter, Mercury, and Pluto are next to the sun, Pluto is not worth the effort anyway, and you'll have to stay up late to see Saturn and get up early to see Venus - but they are all there!
