5 Planets Align For The First Time In A Decade

For the first time since 2005, you’ll be able to see all five visible planets (Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Mercury) at once – if you get up early enough, that is.

The spectacle is visible from Wednesday until 20 February, but experts warn that Mercury will become fainter towards the end of that window. The best time to see the planets is during the last week of January and first week of February, 45 minutes before sunrise.
