A rare astronomical phenomenon will unfold on Friday evening as seven planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—align almost perfectly in the sky. This \"seven-planet alignment\" is visible from Earth and marks the most precise arrangement in 300 years, with the planets spanning 117°.
Stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere will have a special treat, as three of the brightest planets—Jupiter, Venus, and Mars—will be easily visible to the naked eye. Observers around the world can enjoy this celestial event, which is a testament to the fascinating dynamics of our solar system.
