How to observe the parade of planets.

Venus is the easiest thing to see - it is the third brightest object in the Earth's sky after the Sun and the Moon. Other planets, such as Mercury and Uranus, will be much more difficult to notice.. The best place to watch them is away from city lights..

Choose a location with a clear, clear view of the western horizon. Most of the planets will be visible to the naked eye, but binoculars or a small telescope are best..

Planets will start appearing in the sky shortly after sunset.. Mercury and Jupiter will appear low on the horizon first.. The last rays of sunlight can make it difficult to see them with the naked eye, so it's best to take binoculars. It will be possible to observe these two planets for about an hour after sunset, after which they will disappear below the horizon..

Then Venus will appear - the brightest star-like object in the sky, which will be located above Jupiter. With binoculars, you can see Uranus, which will be located slightly above and to the left of Venus.. But it will be possible to see it after all the sunlight disappears, taking Mercury and Venus with it..

There will also be about an hour to observe Venus and Uranus, and then they will disappear beyond the horizon..

But there will be much more time to consider Mars. It will appear as a bright red dot high up in the northwest.. From March 28, it can be seen over the moon.

If you stay up all night or wake up before dawn, you can see another planet: Saturn. It will appear shortly before dawn over the horizon in the south on March 28.

It is worth remembering that Ukraine is now living in conditions of a full-scale Russian invasion, curfews are in place in the regions.. You can't be outside during this time..
