Stargazers treated to rare sight as seven planets align in UK skies - Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury and Saturn all lined up to brighten up the night sky on Friday.

For example, you’ll need binoculars or a small telescope to see Uranus and Neptune—so, while the seven planets will be there, spotting them all will require specific equipment. Several of them will only appear low on the western horizon around twilight, but three will be bright and high in the sky after sunset.
