TL;DR Summary

Five planets, including Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, and Mars, were visible in the night sky as they lined up near the moon. Stargazers had the opportunity to spot them on the horizon, with Venus, Jupiter, and Mars easily visible to the naked eye. The alignment occurs a few times a year due to the solar system's flat disc shape, and the next one will happen in autumn featuring Mercury, Saturn, Venus, Uranus, and Mars.
