Skywatchers in for a treat

Skywatchers are in for a treat! In a celestial spectacle that hasn't occurred in 10 years, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter have aligned diagonally, and the good news is they are visible to the naked eye. The five planets moved into place in the early hours of Wednesday morning and will be seen from Earth every morning until mid-February. Senior technician at the Wits Planetarium, Johnathan Padvatan.
