PHILADELPHIA - When it comes to public understanding of climate change - the forecast is hazy with a 90 percent chance of confusion. Is it a threat to life as we know it? Is it a hoax perpetrated by some bicycle-riding, SUV-hating, tofu-eating eggheads?

Both Venus, the next planet closer to the sun, and Mercury will show in the sky at the same time. And it will not be raining. Or overcast. Viewing won't be this good again until Nov. 2011. Tonight, go outside at the end of day and face west. You'll be looking toward the sun, which just set. To see the inner planets, you always have to look toward the sun.
