The planets will align right before the turn of the month on March 28, according to Starwalk.
People can catch a five-planet alignment next week as Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars will appear across the night sky. The large planetary alignment, defined as an alignment of five or six planets, will be visible after sunset within a small 50-degree sector in the sky, Starwalk said. Jupiter and Mercury will be located closer to the horizon, Venus and Uranus will appear higher up and Mars will shine near the moon, according to Starwalk.
Gary Swangin, an astronomer and manager of the Panther Academy Planetarium in Paterson, New Jersey, told that Venus, Mars and Jupiter will be easier to see with the naked ete compared to Mercury and Uranus, which will likely take using binoculars or a telescope to catch. "Don't forget to look to the sky [at] the end of the month for the planetary alignment which will have at least five planets — plus the moon — all visible in almost an arc shape as seen from Earth," he wrote. including on April 11 and later in the summer on August 24.
