Gwacheon, South Korea – Astronomy enthusiasts in South Korea are gearing up for a rare celestial event. The National Science Museum of Korea announced that a special observation session will be held on January 25th, offering the public a chance to witness a remarkable alignment of planets in the night sky.
During this event, six planets – Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – will be visible in the night sky, creating a stunning celestial display. This alignment is a result of the planets' orbital paths being nearly in the same plane, making them appear to be in a line when viewed from Earth.
“This is a rare opportunity to see multiple planets in one night,” said Han Hyung-ju, director of the National Science Museum. “Alignments like this don't happen very often, making this event a truly special occasion for stargazers.”
The observation session will take place at the museum's observatory and planetarium, and will include a public lecture by Dr. Kang Won-seok, an expert in planetary exploration. The lecture will provide insights into the solar system and the ongoing exploration of other planets.
For those who wish to participate, the museum recommends checking the weather forecast as clear skies are essential for optimal viewing. Telescopes will be provided to help participants get a closer look at the planets and their moons.
