Don't miss out on a rare celestial event tomorrow, 21 January 2025! At around 19:00 GMT, step outside to catch a stunning planetary alignment happening only once every 20 years! You’ll be able to see Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and even Uranus & Neptune (more likely through a telescope) all in the sky at the same time!

In the UK, look East for Mars, Southeast for Jupiter, and Southwest for Venus & Saturn. It’s a sight you won’t want to miss! 🌙🔭

Note - this picture is not taken in the UK but on a previous trip to Chile of mine. The Atacama Desert is one of the best places in the world to stargaze!
