Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus will be visible around the UK
Five planets will line up across the sky in a rare display that will be visible across the UK tonight . Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus will all appear in a line across the sky shortly after sunset.
Speaking to MailOnline, the University of Edinburgh’s Professor Beth Biller said: “Exact location in the UK is probably not critical. What is more important is to be out of the city and to be somewhere where you have a good view of the horizon.”The rare formation – known as a planetary parade – occurs when several planets are located in the same constellation. Though uncommon, similar displays also occurred in 2022, 2020 and 2016.
