TL;DR Summary

Five planets, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Mars, will align in an arc formation on the nights of March 25 through 30, alongside the Moon. To spot all five planets in one night, timing, dark skies, and a clear view of the horizon are key. Venus will be the easiest to spot with the naked eye, while Uranus and Mercury may be harder to see. An astronomy app like Sky Tonight or SkySafari can help identify the planets. Jupiter and Mercury will appear side-by-side shortly after sunset, followed by Venus and Uranus. Mars will appear bright red and high up in the southwest sky.
