Don't Miss the Rare Five-Planet Alignment in the Night Sky

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, and it will be visible to the naked eye across the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Venus will be the easiest planet to spot, while Uranus may require binoculars or a telescope. The alignment will cover about 70 degrees of the sky and will be visible for a couple of weeks.
