Headlines:
Four planets should appear aligned in the early morning sky next week, but get ready to see this before the sun rises.
On the morning of April 17, Mercury, Venus, Neptune and Saturn will take part in a planetary alignment, also known as a planetary parade, according to the website StarWalk .
These four planets are all expected to be visible high above the eastern horizon in the Southern Hemisphere, the website stated. They should be spotted while it's still dark, one hour before sunrise.
Of these four planets, Neptune should be the only one that requires binoculars or a telescope to see it, StarWalk explained. The dimmest of the four planets in the alignment, Neptune should be at a magnitude 7.9 and should be positioned near Mercury.
