as indicated Our colleagues from ParisThis weekend, which begins on Sunday, will be a rare opportunity to observe Alignment of Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. To observe this phenomenon with the naked eye, it would be necessary to be in the northern hemisphere and observe the sky at dawn by turning towards the southeast horizon. It is better to prefer a place far from light pollution and with a flat surface, because Jupiter It would be very low in the sky.

At dawn, again, MercuryAnd VenusAnd MarsAnd JupiterAnd Saturn It will be visible again and will be joined as well Uranus If conditions are perfect.
