Five planets alignment as Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury to be visible tomorrow morning

Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury will be visible by the naked eye as all five planets align.

The conjunction will be visible around the world until Monday and won't be seen again until 2040. The planets will appear spread out across the sky.

In the UK, the planets will be visible in the early hours of the morning. The last planet will be visible around 45 minutes before sun rise.

According to NASA; Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus will appear increasingly spread out across the morning sky, but by September, Venus and Saturn will no longer be visible.

The best position to view the planets is from a high spot looking towards the east. Observers in the southern hemisphere will have the greatest view.

Robert Massey, the deputy executive director of the Royal Astronomical Society, told Newsweek : "As far north as southern Europe and the southern United States, observers should be able to see all five planets fairly easily, but Mercury is really low and difficult when you get as far north as the U.K. and Canada,.

"The reason is that the tilt of the ecliptic—the imaginary plane of the solar system—has a very shallow angle up here in the June morning sky, whereas in the southern hemisphere it makes a steep angle to the horizon."
