Are you a stargazing fanatic?
FROM THE NORTHERN lights to a supermoon eclipse, there has been no shortage of stunning events in Irish skies over the last year.
Now there’s another reason to stargaze, as a rare planetary event will be visible over Ireland for the next four weeks.
The ‘Planet Parade’ or the ‘great planetary alignment’, will see the sky scattered with a number of visible planets – including Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus and Neptune will also be visible through a telescope.
