Special for the observers of heaven will be this week as seven planets – Mars, Zeus, Heaven, Aphrodite, Neptune, Hermes and Saturn are expected to be visible in the sky for a while in the evening.

As the BBC reports, this phenomenon, known as the “parade of planets”, is a rare spectacle and will be the last time that seven planets will be visible at the same time until 2040.

The best opportunity to see as many planets as possible according to the BBC is expected to be immediately after sunset on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Four of the planets – Hermes, Venus, Zeus and Mars – will be visible with a naked eye. Saturn will be harder to look because it will be low on the horizon while a telescope will be needed to identify the other two planets – the sky and Neptune.

Dr. Edward Bloomer, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, speaks of a rare opportunity to see him.

As the sun sets, Saturn and Hermes will also set up, making them difficult. “You really only have a few minutes after sunset to ‘prevent them’ before heading under the horizon. After that, you will still be able to clearly see Venus, Jupiter and Mars for much more time, “added Dr. Bloomer.

Venus and Zeus will be easier to detect because of their brightness, while Mars will have a distinct reddish hue, according to the BBC.

“The sky is technically visible with a naked eye, but you will need perfect vision and ideal conditions,” explains Dr. Bloomer.

To improve your chances of seeing as many planets as possible, Dr. Bloomer advises this to be done from a clear view of the horizon and minimal light pollution.

“If you just get out of your kitchen in your back garden, you will need time to adjust to light levels. Give a little time – your eyes take about half an hour to adjust completely, “Dr. Bloomer said, adding:” Avoid looking at your phone, feel comfortable and make sure you have a unobstructed view of the horizon. “

Although this is an exciting opportunity, Dr Bloomer encourages people to look at the sky often at night.

“See how things change,” he said, adding that observation of heavens is “an opportunity to watch the continuing engineering of the solar system that works.”
