About Vantage Point


Witnesses with different points of view try to unravel an assassination attempt on the U. S. president. Special Agents Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are assigned to protect President Ashton during a summit in Spain on the war on terror. Moments after the leader's arrival, shots ring out, and Ashton is down. In the resulting chaos, an American tourist (Forest Whitaker) comes forward with his camcorder, which he believes contains an image of the shooter.

All solar system's planets visible in night sky

There will be a chance to see all The Planets in the Solar System in the Night Sky on Thursday.

Five should be visible with the Naked Eye , while the two furthest away, Uranus and Neptune, will be better viewed with binoculars.

It will be challenging to see Mercury and Venus in the UK due to their low position in the sky.

The Best Time to see The Spectacle is shortly after sunset.

Those further south, including Southern Europe or closer to the equator, are more likely to be able to see all The Planets appear in a vertical Line Up into the sky.

Dr Massy advises sky-watchers to try to find a clear Vantage Point to look towards The South -west horizon shortly after sunset.

Venus should appear the brightest, low in The South -west towards the horizon, but it will be a challenge from the UK.

Jupiter is The Next brightest planet, and should appear higher in the sky where Saturn should also be visible.

Anyone looking through a telescope should be able to see details like The Moons of Jupiter and perhaps cloud systems or dark markings on Jupiter and Mars, Dr Massy says.

Skies are forecast to be clearest in The South -west of England and The South and west of Wales. But in the north of England and Scotland clouds could obscure The View .

In June Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were visible when they aligned in a
