If you love all things astronomy, you'll most certainly want to pay close attention to the sky in the coming weeks.
For one night, on March 28, five planets - Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars - will gather within a 50-degree sky sector - in what will be a rare astronomical phenomenon, according to the website Starwalk.

It looks like the next few months are going to be a treat for stargazers, with several planetary alignments on the way in 2023.
The first is an astronomical event whereby planets gather closely on one side of the Sun at the same time, as seen from above the solar system.
Five planets align for the visible eye in March
Five planets will be visible on March 28th: Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Uranus, according to StarWalk.
The large planet alignment set for March is a bigger deal because of the five planets being together. The planetary alignments are defined from mini to large, according to the website, with mini being three planets being in alignment and (large) being five.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK created a complex model that describes a world with most of its water locked deep below the surface, not in pools or oceans, but in rocks. Technically, it’s trapped in minerals deep beneath the surface.
