Rare six-planet spectacle to light up the evening sky this weekend: Here’s when, where and how to watch the planetary parade

A rare planetary parade is set to occur this weekend across the UK. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter will be visible without special equipment. Uranus and Neptune may require binoculars or a small telescope. The planets will appear low along the western horizon soon after sunset. Jupiter will be higher up. Sunday evening is predicted to offer favourable viewing conditions.
