The lunar phase which is visible for the entire night is the full moon. Every phase except new moon is visible at some time during the night, though. It might be right before sunrise, or right after sunset.

Anything from just-past-full, all the way through waning gibbous and

waning crescent would be, but in different parts of the sky.

When will the five most visible planets be observable in the evening sky during the next 12 months in the year 2012?

As I write this on August 25, 2012, Mars and Saturn are clearly visible just above the western horizon at sunset. Venus is the "Morning Star", and is the brightest thing in the sky in the eastern sky just before dawn. Jupiter rises about 1AM, and is visible until dawn. Mercury is tougher; it's currently too close to the Sun to be visible and is headed to a "superior conjunction" when Mercury will be on the other side of the Sun from us in mid-September. It will remain too close to the Sun to be visible until the end of October. By Halloween, you should have a chance to see Mercury low in the western sky just after sunset.

Why is mercury not visible from earth?

It is visible, but not obviously as a planet. It is millions of miles away, and appears as a very bright star near the horizon, shortly before dawn or shortly after sunset. For some of the year, it is invisible because it appears too close to the Sun.

When is the next lunar eclipse in 2012?

"The action begins around 4:45 am Pacific Standard Time [on December 10th] when the red shadow of Earth first falls across the lunar disk. By 6:05 am Pacific Time, the Moon will be fully engulfed in red light. This event - the last total lunar eclipse until 2014 - is visible from the Pacific side of North America, across the entire Pacific Ocean to Asia and Eastern Europe. For people in the western United States the eclipse is deepest just before local dawn. Not only will the Moon be beautifully red, it will also be inflated by the Moon illusion."

Why does matariki disappear during May and reappear during June?

Matariki (Pleiades cluster) is only visible in the pre-dawn sky during certain times of the year. In May, it sets shortly after sunset and is not visible. By June, it rises before dawn and becomes visible again, marking the start of the Māori New Year. This disappearance and reappearance are due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun and the changing position of the stars in the sky throughout the year.
