Don't Miss the Rare Five-Planet Alignment in the Night Sky
TL;DR
On March 27, 2023, Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Uranus will align and display themselves in a row across the night sky. This week, amateur astronomers worldwide will be participating in the Messier Marathon to spot as many of the 110 deep-sky objects as possible. To get the best experience, it is recommended to find an observational site with a clear view of the western horizon and use binoculars. The planets will be viewable approximately 20-25 minutes after the sun has set, and the viewing time is short.
