Venus and Jupiter will appear close to colliding in the sky tonight - and could stay visible to the naked eye for a number of weeks. This happens annually- but this year they will appear particularly close.
Experts say the best viewing window is between around 5am and 6am (BST) on Sunday, just after the planets rise above the horizon, but before the sun follows after them. Stargazers are in for a treat as the phenomenon will be visible with the naked eye, reports Wiltshire Live.
Despite appearing from Earth to be lined up, the planets will not actually be lined up in space. Jake Foster, an astronomy education officer at Royal Museums Greenwich, said: “To view this event, all you require is a clear eastern horizon. No specialist viewing equipment is necessary.
