Star enthusiasts, get ready for a celestial show like no other! This Friday evening, witness a rare seven-planet alignment as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune line up almost perfectly in the night sky.
What makes this event extraordinary? It's the most precise alignment in 300 years, stretching across a span of 117 degrees! While it's purely a coincidence of the planets’ orbital paths, the sight is truly mesmerizing.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, you'll be treated to a spectacular view of three of the brightest planets: Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. So, grab your telescopes or just gaze up with your naked eyes and marvel at this astronomical wonder!
