A rare celestial event is set to captivate stargazers as six planets align in a straight line across the night sky. Mars, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune will all be visible, providing an extraordinary display for astronomy enthusiasts.
To give the public a chance to witness this phenomenon, the Institute of Space Science and Technology (ISST) at the University of Karachi has set up special facilities for viewing.
Dr. Javed Iqbal, Director of ISST, highlighted the rarity of the event, noting that it’s unusual to see more than three or four planets in alignment at once. He called it a significant moment in the field of astronomy.
The alignment is expected to last through the coming month, giving people plenty of opportunities to observe this spectacular occurrence.
