by On the evening of March 28, five planets – Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Mars – will gather within a small 50-degree sky sector. Start your observations soon after sunset.
Near the horizon, you’ll see two bright objects – Jupiter (magnitude -2.1) and Mercury (magnitude -1.3).
They will be located in the constellation Pisces, separated by about a degree.
Higher up in the sky, Venus will shine brightly with a magnitude of -4.0 in the constellation Aries.
If you use a pair of strong binoculars, you’ll see Uranus nearby, shining with a magnitude of 5.8 at a distance of about 2° from Venus.
Mars (magnitude 0,9) will join the alignment higher in the sky, near the first quarter Moon in the constellation Gemini.
Although March 28 is the best day for observation, the alignment will be visible several days before and after that date.
