Tonight, a breathtaking planetary parade is taking place as seven planets will appear to align.
Dr Greg Brown, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich told PA Media: “A planetary parade is a moment when multiple planets are visible in the sky at the same time,” said “How impressive a parade it is will depend on how many planets are in it and how visible they are.”
“Mercury, Neptune and Saturn are all very close to the horizon in the early evening and, particularly in the case of Neptune and Saturn, will struggle to be seen in the twilight,” Brown added.
“In addition, Uranus, like Neptune, is very faint, making it almost impossible to find without a pair of binoculars or a telescope.
“Venus, Jupiter and Mars, however, are all very easy to see with the unaided eye.”
