Tonight is the last chance to witness what astronomers often refer to as a 'planetary parade', when seven planets will line up for the first time in 18 years. The phenomena sees Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus all align.
And your final chance to see it yourself this time around will be in the early hours of Monday, June 27, just before sunrise (approx 4.46am - depending one where you live in the country). Five of the planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn – will be visible to the naked eye. while the remaining two – Uranus and Neptune – can be spotted with binoculars,reports ChronicleLive.
