For the very first time in a decade, Singaporeans can witness a rare astronomical alignment of the following five planets, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn and Venus. This celestial show happens only once in a blue moon and it can be seen from now till the end of February 2016.
As Singapore’s skies are typically bright due to our city lights, interested viewers will have to seize the early morning to catch a glimpse of this phenomenal sighting. According to the Science Centre, the best period and place to see them would be around 6am at East Coast Park.
