See 5 Bright Planets in Night Sky—First Time in 8 Years For the first time in almost a decade, sky-watchers this week will be able to see all five naked-eye planets over the course of one night for several nights in a row. The classical naked-eye planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—can be seen easily without optical aids and so have been known since ancient times. But the quintet hasn't appeared together during a single night since 2004. What's more, this week's parade of planets will be joined in the nighttime skies by the waxing crescent to waxing gibbous moon and the superbright stars Sirius and Canopus.

Animal Rescue Sofia The cold weather combined with so much snow and ice is not only unpleasant for the birds, but also dangerous for their lives. A large part of their food supplies is covered with a thick layer of ice and snow. The unfortunate ones, who remain around us during the winter, have adapted to the bad conditions – you can see them everywhere, bristled up and looking like feather balls. Some birds can slow down their metabolism by lowering the amount of food they require. Funny The rights to broadcast highlights from NCAA March Madness basketball games are held by CBS until the day after the game. This leaves local stations not affiliated with CBS unable to show their viewers clips from the games they’re reporting on.
