You may have seen posts all over the 'net about an 'amazing line up of all the planets' in the middle of this month. As is often the case, this is a total piece of click bait! The simulation below shows what might be visible at dusk on the 18th: Mars will have set before the Sun, and won't be visible until later in the year (It's close to the Moon and Jupiter in the dawn sky in October) Saturn will be to the south, while Venus and Mercury will be just above the glow of twilight: you'll need a cloudless sky and clear eastern horizon: good luck with that!
