Five planets will be visible in the night sky next week, in a rare display at the end of March.
Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus will all be visible for a short period on Monday, March 27.
The easiest planet to see will be Jupiter, while Mars and Venus will also standout in the sky.
Mercury and Uranus will be harder to spot, but should be visible through a telescope or through binoculars if conditions are ideal.
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin has called for everyone to make the most of the phenomenon.
He tweeted: “Don’t forget to look to the sky the end of the month for the planetary alignment which will have at least five planets – plus the moon – all visible in almost an arc shape as seen from Earth.”
While Beth Biller, from the University of Edinburgh, told MailOnline: “Venus and Jupiter are both very bright and easy to pick out and you may have already seen them close together over the past few weeks.
“Mars is a bit fainter, but still easily observed with the naked eye. Mercury starts getting tricky - you need to be at a dark site with a clear view of the horizon if you want to see Mercury.
“Uranus is the faintest and hardest to see - you'll need binoculars or a telescope to see Uranus.”
The display will be visible at various points between March 25 and March 30, with the planets expected to align on March 27.
The best viewing is thought to be in the hour after sunset, around 7pm.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
