Can't See Them

This is late afternoon, and the Miami sun is beginning to set. The oak tree branches are very effective here as a filter to give me this shot. You may not know this, but at this time of the year, you only see Jupiter alone in the night sky. Where are all the other planets, you ask? They are all here in this shot. Well, they are, but you can't see them because of the sun blaring. But... to the left of the sun, on the apparent ecliptic, are the Moon, Mars and Venus... and just to the right of the sun , you can find Mercury and Saturn. Trust me, they are all there, clustering around the sun. At nights, you can't see them either because they have already set along with the sun.
