                    Five Planets to Align in Celestial Show

   by VOA News

   Starting Wednesday and lasting for about one month, five planets -
   Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will all be visible in the
   morning sky.
   Moreover, the planets are expected to be quite bright and lined up
   diagonally, with Mercury on the left.
   Planets can be distinguished from stars because they tend to shine more
   steadily without the twinkling associated with starlight.
   According to [1]Earthsky.org, this will be the first time since early
   2015 to view the planetary alignment.
   For a guide on where to look, Earthsky has some helpful graphics
   [2]here.
