During May, the inhabitants of Earth can see the six planets in the solar system are nearly aligned along the ecliptic (the field of artificial sun EDAR). Similarly, Geoff Gaherty article on Space.com online media on Thursday (04/28/2011).

Four of the six planets that can be seen with the naked eye, namely Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and Venus. Two other planets can be seen with binoculars or small telescopes, namely Uranus and Neptune.

In Jakarta, the new planets can be observed starting at 4:40. The five planets besides Neptune are at the height of 5-15 degrees to the east where the sun rises. The Neptune farther apart at an altitude of 55 degrees.

To be able to view the planets, the sky should be bright and field of view to the eastern horizon is unobstructed. The main obstacle is the observation that low planetary positions and observation time is limited until 05.00. After that, the light is dim planets to be inferior to the sun.

Venus is the easiest to find first, that bright planet with the highest position among the planets can be observed without any other tools. The second terterang planets, Jupiter, at the very bottom. Slightly above Jupiter and Mars are getting up there Mercury.
