Planetary parade’ visible in UK tonight as part of rare event that won’t repeat for 400 years - Celestial spectacle will not be repeated for another 400 years

HELENA — The planets are aligned. Six planets, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn can be seen in the night sky. You'll need binoculars or a telescope to see Neptune and Uranus but they're out there too.

I pick out North America’s celestial highlights for the week ahead (which also apply to mid-northern latitudes in the northern hemisphere).

Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will appear to line up and be bright enough to see with the naked eye in the first few hours after dark. This weekend, Venus and Saturn get especially cozy.

Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky will see quite the light show in the night sky over the next few weeks. Six planets will be visible at the same time.Ven
