Rare celestial event will happen tonight

Keep your eyes peeled on the sky tonight, as you might be in for quite a celestial show. 

Just as the sun is setting, five planets will align across the night sky for a spectacular view. 

The event, often called a 'planetary parade', will allow onlookers to see five planets, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, and Mercury, lined up in the sky. 

You'll want to be looking toward the western horizon just after sunset to get a glimpse of the planets. 

There is a chance you might need binoculars to see Mercury and Uranus, as those planets are expected to be a bit dimmer than the rest. 

A similar event happened last June, which was the first time since 2004.
