Included in each of my programmes is a brief rundown on which planets are visible, and when – assuming skies are clear at night.

When I left home for the studio early this morning, the coming dawn was just starting to lighten the eastern sky. Shining brightly in the east was Venus, a magnificent sight.

By turning to the left, high in the north-west was Jupiter, also conspicuous by it’s brilliance.

Saturn is also visible most of the night, but it sets around 4.50 a.m.
