Tonight, after sunset, it will be possible to see three planets line up with the crescent moon – and a fourth, if you have binoculars and a dark sky
Wherever you are in the world, theand Venus will appear close together in the night sky on 24 March. They will also line up with the bright Jupiter and Mars, and the faint Uranus. The moon will be a tiny sliver, with just 12 per cent of the side facing Earth illuminated.Wherever you live, look west just after the sun has set. You will see two bright objects in the sky, one above the other. These are Jupiter and Venus. Jupiter will be closer to the horizon, setting shortly after sunset.
If you have binoculars or a small telescope, you can point them at Jupiter to look for three of its four largest moons, called the Galilean moons. Callisto will be too close to the planet to see, but you might be able to make out Europa, Io and Ganymede, which will appear in a line in this order on 24 March after sunset, with Ganymede the furthest from Jupiter.Uranus will also be visible but only for those with binoculars and access to a dark sky, away from light pollution.
