      Explanation: Only Mercury is missing from a Solar System parade of   
      planets in this early evening skyscape. Rising nearly opposite the Sun,   
      bright Mars is at the far left. The other naked-eye planets Jupiter,   
      Saturn, and Venus, can also be spotted, with the the position of   
      too-faint Uranus and Neptune marked near the arcing trace of the   
      ecliptic plane. On the far right and close to the western horizon after   
      sunset is a young crescent Moon whose surface is partly illuminated by   
      earthshine. In the foreground of the composite panorama captured on 2   
      January, planet Earth is represented by Mount Etna's lower Silvestri   
      Crater. Of course Earth's early evening skies are full of planets for   
      the entire month of January. On 13 January, a nearly Full Moon will   
      appear to pass in front of Mars for skywatchers in the continental U.S.   
      and Eastern Canada.
