Citizens in the Arab countries are anticipating a rare phenomenon on Friday morning, which is the alignment of 5 planets in a row and can be seen with the naked eye with the presence of the moon.

The planets are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. A member of the Board of Directors of the Syrian Astronomical Society, Nabil Al-Bish, says that the phenomenon begins from before the dawn of Friday, which comes once every 19 years.

Al-Bish pointed out that the planets usually revolve around the sun on different orbits and levels from each other and at unequal and oscillating speeds at the same time in a space whose shape can be imagined in three dimensions, and we only need a strong inspiration and follow-up from a somewhat high and open area to enjoy this phenomenon that will not be repeated before Two decades.

The crescent can also be observed above Venus and near it the planet Uranus, but it is very faint, so it is difficult to monitor it with the naked eye, and the same thing with the planet Neptune, which will be below Jupiter on the southwestern horizon.
