A rare and exciting planetary event is predicted for Saturday, February 28th!
Six planets are supposed to ‘align’ and be visible to the naked eye. Which planets? Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune!
An article in The Guardian states the best time to view this unique planet parade:
“The optimal time to view the alignment will be about 30 minutes after local sunset, with Star Walk recommending viewers to look low in the western sky, ideally with an unobstructed view and clear weather conditions.
Nasa explains that for a planet to be visible without any optical aid, it should be at least a few degrees above the horizon, with 10 degrees or higher being best.”
