5 planets align in rare celestial event

As soon as the darkness deepened after the sun set on Tuesday, there was a wonderful coincidence of the five planets of our solar family reaching close to each other. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Uranus were in alignment. This astronomical phenomenon was important for scientists in terms of time calculation. However, in terms of photography, it was not possible to capture them together in a normal camera.

The best time to view the Planet Parade was on Tuesday, March 28, just after sunset. The planets started disappearing from the sky within 30 minutes of sunset. In India, these planets appeared between 6:36 pm to 7:15 pm.

On Tuesday there was Venus on one side and on the other side Jupiter was shining brightly. Along with these, the planet Mercury also started appearing a little after dusk. All of them were close to the horizon in the west.

After the onset of darkness, the planet Mars was also visible, which was once reddish to some extent. Uranus was also visible among them. The presence of the moon was above all in this astronomical event. All of them were seen in the first leg of the night.

However, to see Uranus, the help of telescope had to be taken.
