On March 28, in the evening, five planets of the solar system – Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars, will be close to each other for observers from Earth. This phenomenon is called the “alignment of the planets”, and informally it is called the “alignment of the planets”.

Scientists do not use the term “parade of planets”, but it has several unofficial meanings, the most common of which means that space objects are close to each other in the night sky, reports starwalk.space.

Jupiter and Mercury will appear as bright dots in the constellation Pisces on March 28. Venus will shine even brighter in the constellation of Aries, and nearby Uranus can be seen with binoculars. Mars will be visible in the constellation Gemini.
