Cochrane skygazers have a chance to catch six planets in the evening sky this weekend, if the weather cooperates.
A planetary parade will feature Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune visible at the same time.
The best viewing window comes shortly after sunset on Saturday, when the grouping peaks.
Around 6:45 p.m, look toward the western horizon, but be prepared for a short opportunity. Mercury and Venus will drop below the horizon within 30 to 45 minutes.

Venus will be the brightest object and the easiest starting point for spotting the others nearby.
Mercury and Saturn will sit close to Venus, while faint Neptune will likely require a telescope to detect.
Jupiter will shine higher in the southeastern sky and remain visible well after the others have set.
Uranus will move across the southern sky through the evening, though binoculars or a telescope will improve your chances of seeing it.
