The planets line up
- Published
You might get the chance to see something special in the sky in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Around pre-dawn or dawn, if you look towards the Moon from your garden or window, you may notice three other bright dots. These dots are actually Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.
How to spot three planets
Jupiter will be the brightest of the planets, as it shines 14 times brighter than Saturn or Mars. However the three planets will line up together just above the Moon and you should be able to see them all, even with the naked eye. While Jupiter will be the brightest, you may notice Mars with an orange glow and Saturn with a golden tinge. If you've got a telescope or even binoculars, you'll be able to see the difference in the planets more clearly.
Forecast for early Thursday
The most important question I guess will be whether you have any clear skies to see this celestial display? Well, for many parts of the UK there will be some clear skies on Thursday morning, though cloud is likely to spoil your view across Scotland and north east England.

If you do spot the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars and can take a picture, we'd love to see it either through Weather Watchers or on social media.
