3 planets will line up in the night sky tonight: Here's where to look for the mini planetary parade

Two star-like planets shine close to one another in the evening sky above the silhouettes of clouds.

Don't miss Jupiter, Venus and Mercury put on a spectacular show as they line up in the evening sky on May 27, creating a 'planetary bridge' between the constellations of Gemini and Taurus.

Jupiter will shine as a steady point of light roughly 30 degrees above the western horizon at sunset, with Venus appearing as a bright star-like object to its lower right. Mercury will complete the line-up, glistening close to the horizon, but will prove a greater challenge to spot in the glow of the setting sun.
