  • Starting January 22, a rare astronomical event can be observed where Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars align in the night sky. The Tamil Nadu Science and Technology Centre will provide telescopes for the public to view Neptune and Uranus.

The article from MSN discusses a rare celestial event where six planets - Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - align in the night sky, creating a spectacular astronomical display. This alignment, visible in late June, offers skywatchers a unique opportunity to see multiple planets in a single viewing session. The event is particularly notable because it includes Uranus and Neptune, which are usually not visible to the naked eye, requiring binoculars or a telescope for observation. The article provides tips on the best times and conditions for viewing, emphasizing the need for clear skies and minimal light pollution. It also highlights the significance of such alignments, which occur due to the planets' positions in their orbits around the Sun, making this a must-see event for astronomy enthusiasts.
