The planets are aligned.

All the planets in the solar system are supposedly all lined up at the moment. The sky is clear and there are plenty of bright lights but I don't know what I'm looking at.

Does anybody know which lights are planets?

If you view them through binoculars the planets appear as tiny discs. if your hands are less shaky at holding instruments than mine! The stars stay as tiny points of light.

The brightest, in the West in the early evening, is Venus. I don't know which of the others is which or where.
