Unusual planetary confluence in the sky; Will be visible in the next days

 

 

A rare 'planetary parade' in which six planets will appear in a single line will be visible in the sky of Canada starting next Wednesday. NASA announced that the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be seen in a single arc in the western sky shortly after sunset. Professor Raymond Karlberg of the University of Toronto described it as a beautiful sight that illustrates the structure of the solar system.

The phenomenon can be seen more clearly from places with less light pollution in urban areas. Those in northern and rural areas of Ontario, Canada, have the opportunity to see this sight better. While all six planets can be seen in other Canadian provinces such as Manitoba, three planets - Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus - will be visible in Saskatchewan. Meteorologists point out that this is the best time to see the planets with the naked eye, as the moon is currently dim. The best time to observe the sky is one hour after sunset.
