Chance to see 5 visible planets in solar system for first time in DECADE in just 3 days
STARGAZERS will be able to see all FIVE visible planets in our solar system for the first time in more than TEN YEARS in just THREE days time.
Last seen in January 2005, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus and Mercury will be visible from Earth in a row along the horizon.
Visible planets are those that can be seen with the naked eye, as opposed to Uranus, Neptune and former planet Pluto, which require telescopes to be viewed.
Amateur astronomers will have until January to prepare their viewing spots as the astonishing sight will be visible between January 20 and February 20 this year.
According to Bruce McClure, of astronomy website EarthSky, which hopes as many people as possible will watch the phenomenon, the time to see it will be just before dawn over the month-long period.
