Look up, Malta! Watch out for a stunning celestial spectacle possibly happening tonight
Look out for four planets and the moon tonight!

Lyndsey Grima

Tonight, we all might be in for a rare treat as the western horizon is set to come alive with a stunning planetary display. Just after sunset, a delicate crescent Moon will appear, accompanied by four dazzling planets, Neptune, Saturn, Mercury, and Venus, aligned near the boundary of Pisces and Aquarius.

As twilight fades from glowing reds to deep blues, the planets are set to shimmer against the evening sky, creating an ideal backdrop for photographers and stargazers alike. Those with an unobstructed view of the horizon will have the most spectacular vantage point. If you’re looking for the best stargazing spots, we’ve got you covered!

For the best experience, bring binoculars or a small telescope to spot Neptune’s faint glow and to enjoy a closer look at Saturn’s iconic rings. Don’t forget your camera - this is a rare opportunity to capture the beauty of a planetary alignment in a single frame.

Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or simply someone who loves the night sky, this celestial gathering is not to be missed.

Step outside just after sunset and marvel at the cosmic ballet unfolding above.
