Stargazers will be in for a unique treat on Saturday morning as five planets will line up at dawn, with some being visible to the naked eye.
Mercury, Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, and Saturn will line up in the event known as a planetary parade. Jupiter and Saturn will be the easiest to spot without any specialist equipment, while Neptune and Uranus may require binoculars - Mercury may also be visible for a short period.
The alignment of planets is a rare event where the planets in the solar system are all roughly positioned in the same direction when viewed from Earth. It is understood that Saturn will be the first to rise, followed by Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus and Mercury, Wales Online reports. Sunrise is due to be at 4.40am on Saturday so people will need to rise early to catch a glimpse.
