While Jupiter and Saturn will be easy to spot, Neptune and Uranus may require binoculars and Mercury will be visible for a short space of time. Jupiter and Saturn will be bright objects that have a yellowy colour, Mercury often looks pink, and Uranus and Neptune pale white-green Prof Don Pollacco “Neptune and Uranus need binoculars to be sure of seeing them – although some keen-sighted people can see Uranus unaided. “Jupiter and Saturn will be bright objects that have a yellowy colour, Mercury often looks pink, and Uranus and Neptune pale white-green.” Alignments occur when the planets in the solar system are all roughly positioned in the same direction when viewed from Earth. “While the planets may look relatively close together in the sky they are of course separated by many millions of miles.” The next five-planet alignment will take place on April 20 2024, which will be a morning parade with Venus, Mercury, Neptune, Mars, and Saturn.
