Don't Miss the Rare 5-Planet Alignment in March's Night Sky

Five planets, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Mars, will align across the night sky on March 28, visible within a small 50-degree sector in the sky. Venus, Mars, and Jupiter will be easier to see with the naked eye compared to Mercury and Uranus, which will likely require binoculars or a telescope. The alignment will be visible in the days before and after March 28, and there will be other opportunities to catch a planetary alignment later this year.
