TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - It's the start of a planetary alignment, where five planets are visible on the western horizon, just after sunset.
You can see Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Uranus and Mars. Dr. Beau Hartweg, director Tyler Junior College's Earth and Space Science Center, said the easiest to spot is Venus, the third-brightest object in the sky, just behind the sun and moon.

When to see 5 planets align in the night sky
PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — Five planets — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus — will align under the moon Tuesday, which OMSI Director of Space Science Education Jim Todd says will be a "unique opportunity" for stargazers.
"The highlight, perhaps, is [Tuesday] night, when the moon and Mars are going to be right next to each other," Todd said.
Uncrewed Soyuz Vehicle Departs Tuesday; New Space Science Kicks Off – Space Station
An uncrewed Soyuz crew ship will depart the International Space Station on Tuesday morning. In the meantime, the seven-member Expedition 68 crew focused on new science experiments and hardware recently delivered aboard the SpaceX Dragon cargo vehicle.
Three space station residents who arrived at the orbiting lab on Sept. 21 last year aboard the Soyuz MS-22 crew ship will continue their stay in space after their spacecraft departs at 5:57 a.m. EDT on Tuesday .

The leaky Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft cast off from its docking port on the Russian-built Rassvet module of the International Space Station without any astronauts aboard — a rarity for Russia's Roscosmos space program — at 5:57 a.m. EDT (0957 GMT).
"It's de-orbiting and descent to Earth went smoothly," Roscosmos officials announced on Telegram (opens in new tab) after landing. Images showed the spacecraft descending under its parachute and at rest on its side after landing.
