Planetary Alignment

All five planets will arrange on an arc across the sky. Mercury will appear the closest to the horizon, followed by Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter. The stars Antares and Spica will make cameos as well, twinkling between Saturn and Mars, and Mars and Jupiter, respectively.



In ancient times this would have been regarded as a serious omen. Is something bad about to happen, or do the stars and planets no longer control our lives?

The scientific mind would say "pish posh", but I'm not a scientist.
