Five planets visible from today – TSF Online

The last time Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter were visible at the same time was in December 2004. From tomorrow can see them lined up again.

As of today, January 20, until February 20 you can see Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter aligned in simultaneously.

These planets have different orbits and travel at different speeds, which makes the coincidence is relatively rare.

The last time the five planets made a visible diagonal to from Earth was between late 2004 and early 2005, again according to the EarthSky.org.

It will be easier to spot the phenomena before sunrise but there are several astronomy applications that can help solve doubts.
