The moon and its planetary pals are putting up quite a show and on Sunday, 12 December, and stargazers will be provided with a spectacular celestial showcase. From 6-10 December, one will be able to see three planets, and then on 12 December, you will be able to see five planets. In addition to this, there will also be a crescent moon, making it easier to see the planets. Wondering what’s going on, then read on. According to astronomers, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus and the moon will line up and appear to the naked eye. The moon started off the week next to Venus, and as the week progresses, it will continue to move up the chain, passing by Saturn and Jupiter. These close encounters will be great opportunities for photographers and stargazers with a telescope hoping to see a planet and the moon in the same field of view. On Sunday (Dec. 12), five planets, two large asteroids, and the Moon will align in the night sky. Visible around the world. pic.twitter.com/u4Zdm0ob13 — Latest in
