Look up later this month, and you might be in for an out-of-this world sight — no telescope required. Five planets — Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars — will be visible across the night sky. | via NPR
The Milky Way's Galactic Center and Jupiter are seen from near Reboledo, department of Florida, Uruguay, early on August 24, 2020.
Five planets — Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars — will be visible across the night sky for many viewers on Earth around March 27 and 28., but experts say what you'll see will depend largely on where you are. Venus, the brightest of the bunch, will be high in the sky and easier to spot, he added, while nearby Uranus may appear faint and only be visible through binoculars. The reddish Mars will shine brightly near the moon.
Though this isn't a true planetary alignment, since the planets won't be in a straight line from the perspective of the sun, Fienberg said it's still a good chance to glimpse a handful of the planets in our solar system at one time.
