"March Night Sky Spectacle: Five Planets Visible at Once"

Five planets of the solar system, including Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, and Venus, will be visible in the night sky on March 28 as part of a rare planetary alignment. While binoculars will be needed to spot Uranus, Mars should be viewable in the alignment near to the first quarter of the moon. Stargazers can use the app Sky Tonight to identify the planets above. This visual phenomenon differs from an astronomical alignment, which refers to when planets come together simultaneously on the same side of the sun.
