Venus, Jupiter and Mars line up for skyline spectacle

Venus, Jupiter and Mars can be seen from the Earth's skyline this week in a rare grouping of the three planets. The planetary conjunction - in which planets appear closer because of their positions in relation to the Sun - has been visible for days and will continue until at least the end of the week. The planets are best seen before sunrise and are expected to appear closest together on 29th Oct. The next time the planets will come together will be in January 2021.
