For the past couple of nights the skies here in east Norfolk have been crystal clear, allowing those who like that sort of thing (and who own a pair of binoculars!) to pick out all eight planets. The largest of these - Jupiter - was close to the Moon last night: a beautiful sight! Uranus was comparatively easy to find, being in between Mars and Jupiter and quite near the 'hockey stick' constellation Aries. The Andromeda Galaxy, M31 and Orion Nebula, M42 were both visible with the naked eye.
