Ukrainians will see a rare parade of planets

A rare celestial show: the parade of planets will be visible to the naked eye

Tomorrow, the people of Ukraine will be able to watch a rare parade of planets - several planets of the Solar System will line up almost in a single line. This was reported by Ukrmedia News.

According to the publication, a significant number of planets will be visible without special optics.

When and how to observe

The best time to observe is right after sunset, when the sky is dark enough but the planets are still above the horizon.

Astronomers advise:

• choose places away from city lights;

• face west and southwest;

• use binoculars or a telescope if possible.

Context.

Planet parades are rare, especially when most of them can be seen with the naked eye at the same time.

According to preliminary estimates, the next similar configuration is expected only in 2040.
