SINGAPORE - Five planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus - will align and light up the sky on Tuesday.

An unobstructed, westward-facing shoreline with a good view of the horizon and clear skies offers the best chance of spotting the alignment, according to Space.com. “Wait until the sun has set and then go out and look low in that bright part of the sky where the sun has just set with binoculars, and you should see brighter Jupiter next to fainter Mercury,” said senior contributing editor of Sky & Telescope magazine, Mr Rick Fienberg, in an NPR article.

Among the people who will be stargazing is former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who tweeted on Monday: “I’m always on the lookout for some great star-gazing opportunities…and Tuesday might be a night to grab the binoculars and catch a glimpse of a pretty rare five-planet alignment of Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, and Mars. Here’s hoping the skies will remain clear!”
