The best days to enjoy this show will be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, just after sunset. During this astronomical phenomenon, four of the planets will be visible to the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars. However, Saturn will be more complicated to see due to his low position on the horizon.
For those interested in observing Uranus and Neptune, it will be necessary to have a telescope. It is essential to find a place with a wide view of the horizon to be able to appreciate this phenomenon in its entirety.
Astronomer Edward Bloomer, from the Royal Greenwich Observatory in the United Kingdom, warns: “You really only have a few minutes after the sunset to see them before they disappear below the horizon. Then, you can still clearly observe Venus, Jupiter and Mars for considerable time.”
Do not miss this unique opportunity and stay alert to enjoy this brief but spectacular planetary parade.
