Friday night (tomorrow) the 28th, if it is clear and you have binoculars or a small telescope, you can see a rare alignment of the planets, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, (Earth), Mars, Jupiter and Uranus. The moon is so close to the Sun it likely will not be seen naked eye nor through binoculars/telescope unless special safety methods are used to shield from the bright nearby sunlight.

Mercury may need binos or a tele to spot it in the bright twilight, and Uranus will need a telescope, but at high power can be seen telescopically as a tiny, pale, robins-egg green disc.
