KING 5

If you wake up early enough, you will be able to see the alignment that hasn't been seen in 18 years.

Look Up! A Rare Planetary Alignment is Taking Place Right Now

The planetary alignment in March 2023:

Five planets have aligned with the waxing Moon forming an arc in the western sky at dusk. Four out of these planets are visible to the naked eye. If you look in the west after sunset, you can see Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Uranus. They have put up a stunning show that can be seen from March 25 to March 30. And besides these five planets, you can even spot Saturn in the eastern sky at dawn. This video explains everything related to the planetary alignment of March 2023.

Perhaps an Astrophysicist would explain better…

Astrophysicist explains why seeing planets with the naked eye is rare

A stunning visual will take shape when five planets - which will include Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus - line up beneath the moon in a display sometimes called a planetary parade or alignment.
