UAE: Stargazers in the UAE are preparing for a rare celestial event: a planetary alignment on the night of January 25. This alignment will feature several of the solar system’s planets lined up in a way that can be seen with the naked eye. The event promises to be an unforgettable spectacle for astronomy enthusiasts and casual observers alike.
The alignment will be visible across the country, with some of the brightest planets, including Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus, appearing close to each other in the night sky.
