    On Jan 18th we've got 6 planets aligning.
    Last night it was a clear sky above Edinburgh and spotted Mars, Jupiter and Venus shining bright. Pretty amazing to see with the naked eye.

    Download Stellarium app for phone to map out the night sky you see.

    ... and just sayin', 6 planets aligned would make pretty decent cover for an approaching Alien attack.

    • Uan, no probs.
      I downloaded it last year for using in the Desert at night in Morocco. Clearest skies I've ever seen so was amazing to see so much annotated.      microkorg
