How to watch the ‘planetary parade’ at its peak in Australian skies

This month, six planets in our solar system — Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, and Saturn — will all be visible in Earth’s skies, with the best viewing time on the night of 21 January. While Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus can be seen with the naked eye, Uranus and Neptune require binoculars or a telescope. Saturn’s rings may not be visible due to its equinox, but you can spot Titan.

Utilize a sky map or stargazing app for assistance in identifying the planets.
