  • The rare celestial shot of all five planets and the moon was captured by Martin Dolan over Stephens Castle in Dorset
  • It is the first time in 11 years the planets are visible at the same time, although it's not technically an alignment
  • In an alignment, the planets would line up outwards from the sun but in this case they are positioned on their orbits in such a way that they form an arc across the same portion of sky 
  • Views of the five planets will continue to be visible until the 20 February but next week will offer the best chance

There's no way normal people can see which dot is what.

why do they look like the moon? lol

it might be a stupid question since i'm stupid

but i thought they would look like the earth

why are they so bright?

Because they are so far away

 

They're bright because they reflect the light of the sun
