TL;DR Summary

A planetary parade or alignment will occur in late March, where five planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus - will line up beneath the moon. The best time to view the alignment is just after sunset on Tuesday evening, and it will be visible to the naked eye across the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Venus, the brightest object in the night sky, will be the easiest planet to spot, while Uranus may require binoculars or a telescope. The entire alignment will cover about 70 degrees of the sky, and it is a rare but not significant event.
