Tonight, look to the north-west sky just after sunset (around 6pm) and you’ll spot something special, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and the Moon aligning in one stunning celestial display.

Even better? It looks like the constellation Leo is about to devour them all. 🦁🌌It’s a rare, beautiful moment you can see with the naked eye, so step outside, look up, and take it in.

Then keep exploring the cosmos with us at. from Scienceworks After Dark: Celebrate the Solstice to our monthly Discover the Night Sky sessions with astronomer Dr Tanya Hill.

✨ See you under the stars.
