Rare 'planetary parade' visible in Leicestershire
Skywatchers are in for a treat this week as seven planets - Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, and Saturn will all be briefly visible in the evening sky.
This phenomenon, known as a 'planetary parade' is a rare sight, and it will be the last time seven planets can be seen simultaneously so well until 2040.
The best chance to see as many planets as possible will be just after sunset on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Professor Leigh Fletcher from the University of Leicester School of Physics and Astronomy spoke to 成人快手 Leicester's Ady Dayman.
