Be sure to point your eyes to the sky towards the end of March because five planets are expected to be visible from Earth, marking a rare astronomical phenomenon right before the turn of the month this year.
A planetary alignment is a formation that emerges in various sizes ranging from "mini" (three planets) to "full" (all eight planets, plus Pluto on occasion). This month will be "large," an alignment that consists of five or six planets.

Over the course of several days beginning March 25, five planets in our solar system will be visible simultaneously. They are Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Uranus.
According to Starwalk , a planetary alignment occurs when multiple planets gather together on one side of the Sun at the same time. This alignment is considered large with five planets as they form a line in the sky. The planetary alignment will be best seen on March 28 after sunset.
Small stars may host bigger planets than previously thought
