During the 1980s, tourists were allowed to access the crown of the Statue of Liberty, offering a panoramic view of New York Harbor through its 25 windows.

Planetary alignments aren’t rare — but 6 visible planets are. Here's how to watch and what you need to know: Four bright planets are visible to the naked eye — Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. For those with binoculars or a small telescope, Uranus and Neptune are also visible, making six planets accessible at once. Venus and Saturn appear close together in the West to Southwest during the first couple of hours after dark (which is now!), Jupiter shines high overhead, while Mars rises in the East. And there's more. Comet ATLAS is now visible as well. After surviving its close encounter with the Sun, the comet has a brightness of around magnitude –3, making it a standout celestial event. A simple way to distinguish a star from a planet is that planets tend to shine steadily while stars twinkle. All these planets align along the ecliptic, an imaginary "clothesline" marking the plane of the solar system. Mars has a slight red hue, which should help you identify it a little more easily. Jupiter appears as a cream-colored light, shining just 5° from Aldebaran in Taurus.
