There are five planets that are generally visible to the naked eye.In September 2009, Mercury and Saturn are too close to the Sun to be seen.Jupiter rises just before sunset, and is visible most of the night.Venus and Mars rise a couple of hours before dawn, and are easily visible in the eastern sky before the Sun rises. Venus is the incredibly bright one, and Mars has a distinct reddish tint, so they're both fairly easy to pick out.
In January 2009, the bright object near the moon in the western sky was likely the planet Venus. Venus is often visible in the evening sky and can appear as a bright point of light near the moon. This celestial pairing is a beautiful sight to observe.
Phase of the Moon on 18 December: waxing crescent with 5% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated. Phase of the Moon on 19 December: waxing crescent with 10% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated. New Moon on 16 December 2009 at 4:03 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can easily be seen with the naked eye. Visibility changes from year to year; you may want to look up information about specific planets, for specific months and years. For example, at the time of this writing (Oct. 2009), Jupiter can be seen after sunset, as a spectacularly bright star, high in the sky. It will set a few hours later.

There are generally a couple of planets visible every night of the year. Which planets will be visible and when depends on where each of the planets (and the Earth itself) are in their orbits. Here on August 28, 2009, for example, Jupiter rises about sunset and is brightly visible all night. Venus and Mars rise before dawn. Saturn and Mercury are not visible this month, because they are too close to the Sun to be seen.

Following the August 24, 2006 reclassification of Pluto as a "dwarf planet", there are 8 actual planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) and (as of January 2009) 5 dwarf planets (Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris). As of January, 2009, the orbit of another dwarf candidate (Sedna) is still being verified.

Astronomy covers a lot of areas like the study of stars, galaxies, nebulae, clusters, asteroids, comets and of course planets. If you go out and look at the night sky, if you know where to look, you will see some of the planets. Currently, in February 2009, Venus is visible as a very bright object in the west after sunset and Saturn is visible through much of the night near the constellation of Leo. Just looking at them, or when we are specifically observing or studying planets we are engaging in astronomy.
