Five aligned planets set to be visible in Malta & Gozo’s skies TONIGHT
Not a sight to be missed.

Emma Galea

Tonight, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, and Mars, will all line up near the moon and be visible for all astronomers to enjoy.

They all aligned yesterday but visibility in Malta and Gozo wasn’t the best which made it quite hard to watch this incredible and rare phenomena.

However, tonight astronomers in Malta will have a better opportunity to see all five planets due to better visibility.

If you want to see all five, you’ll have to make sure to go see them right after sunset as Mercury and Jupiter will quickly disappear half an hour after sunset.

All five planets will stretch from the horizon line to halfway up the beautiful night sky. This is truly not a sight not to be missed.

If you can’t watch tonight, a similar line up will arrive again next June.

Will you be watching?
