Five planets will line up across the sky in a rare display that will be visible across the UK tonight (March 28). Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus will all appear in a line across the sky shortly after sunset.
Our neighbour Venus and the gas giant Jupiter will be the easiest to see, while catching a glimpse of Mercury, Mars, and the distant Uranus may prove more challenging. Those hoping to see the rare phenomenon will have the greatest chance in rural areas away from any light pollution.
Speaking to MailOnline, the University of Edinburgh’s Professor Beth Biller said: “Exact location in the UK is probably not critical. What is more important is to be out of the city and to be somewhere where you have a good view of the horizon.”
