Yea, it is.
Back in 1986 when Haley's Comet came back I was big into astronomy. The Oklahoma City Astronomy club met at the local planetarium. Clyde Tombaugh was in town and we were lucky enough to have him as a guest speaker. That was way cool. (OK I admit I am a nerd & geek)
And to keep you from having to google it, Clyde was the man that discovered Pluto. I have had the opportunity to see all the planets.
Mercury is a challenge since it never get very high in the horizon without the sun making it disappear. Venus and the Earth are easy. Mars Jupiter and Saturn are a piece of cake. Uranus & Neptune are a bit of a challenge and Mercury is a real challenge. One of the guys in the club has a 21 inch telescope and he lives in the middle of a very dark area. So I have seen all 9 planets because Pluto was still a planet back then!
