Planet Watch -- November 2014

Mercury is visible as a 'morning star', rising ahead of the Sun, for a good portion of the month with the best viewing during the first half of the month.
Venus moves away from superior conjunction but will not really be easily seen until the end of the month and into the first part of December when Venus reappears as an evening planet.

Mars stays visible in the evening skies over the southwestern horizon at sunset. Watch for Mars to be less than 5.0o from Dwarf Planet Pluto on the evening 14 November.
Jupiter rises before midnight local time and is visible in the pre-dawn morning skies throughout the month.
Saturn is at solar conjunction this month and will not become visible again until it reappears in the morning skies rising before the Sun rises.
