"Rare 'Planet Parade' to Illuminate Night Sky with Five Aligned Celestial Bodies"

Five planets - Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, and Mars - will line up near the moon in the night sky this week, visible from anywhere on Earth with clear skies and a view of the west. The best day to catch the whole group is Tuesday, with Jupiter, Venus, and Mars being easy to spot, while Mercury and Uranus may require binoculars. This kind of alignment happens when the planets' orbits line them up on one side of the sun from Earth's perspective.
