We had really clear skies the night of the "Celestial Event" that occurred on New Year's Eve. In case you missed it, the really bright star under the moon is Venus, and I think you can faintly see Saturn below. There was at least one other planet involved (maybe up to 3, if you notice the faint triangular shape of the stars), but I can't remember right now what other planets were visible.

Wow, I had no idea. Our news must have not bothered to tell us this was happening... realizing the chance of rain/snow/clouds were so high, hahaha. Pretty cool.
