We cannot call it alignment of planets Not even this time (even if these days the ads on the net are multiplying again), but,, as happened on January 21stseveral of them will be above the horizon (even if not all visible to the naked eye). Let’s get ready for a great show!
As seen from the maps of Stellarium (virtually close but actually referring to different areas of the sky), the February 28th at 19.00 about will be potentially Visible seven planetsin particular Mars, Jupiter and Uranus on the South-South-West horizon, and Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and Venus on the horizon to the west.
The show will be even more beautiful because in coincidence with the New moon: Our satellite, therefore, will not disturb the vision of the least bright stars.
But be careful, easily (time permitting) only Mars, Jupiter and Venus. For Uranus and Neptune, the telescope is necessary, while for Saturn at least a good binoculars to be able to better appreciate its details. And above all, that is, they do not occupy spaces in the sky that form a virtual straight line.
As always, it is important to provide correct information, but, once again, nothing is removed from one Beautiful show that we invite everyone to admire.
