Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus and Mars will align in the sky on March 28. It’s the best opportunity to spot them with the naked eye.
Right after the sunset. Viewing time will be short. Planets will be seen parading within 25 to 30 minutes of the sunset. Mars and Jupiter will be visible to our naked eye.
Spotting Mercury and Uranus with the naked eye might not be an easy job. So, you better grab binoculars or a telescope for a better and clear view.
The five planets will be aligned in an arc form. This is a rare cosmic spectacle. If you miss this time, you will get the next chance on September 8, 2040
As per experts, these rare sights occur when the planets are on the same side of the sun.
One such event occurred last year as well. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn aligned in a rare order last June for the first time since December 2004.
