5 Planets for 15 minutes??
On 9-28,29,30-2004, when viewed from my midwest location near Chicago,
it looks like Mars,Mercury and Jupiter will join Venus and Saturn in the eastern sky about 15 minutes before the Sun breaks the horizon. I wonder if MMJ will be visible during that time frame as they will be very close to the horizon and it is so close to sunrise. Mercury and Jupiter will have an apparent magnitude of about -1.4. Comments please. Thanks, Orin Keplinger near Chicago

Comments please. It's a nice conjunction, but too close (to sunrise) for comfort. SSX

Doesn't that depend on your location? Celestially maybe. He was asking about the possibility from near Chicago. SSX
