Venus and Jupiter will be the easiest to spot due to their brightness, while Mars will have a distinct reddish hue.

“Uranus is technically visible with the naked eye, but you’d need perfect eyesight and ideal conditions,” Dr Bloomer explains.

To improve your chances of seeing as many planets as possible, Dr Bloomer advises heading to a location with a clear view of the horizon and minimal light pollution.

“If you just pop out of your kitchen into your back garden, you will take time to adjust to the light levels. Give it a bit of time – your eyes take about half an hour to fully adjust,” said Dr Bloomer.

“Avoid looking at your phone, get comfortable, and ensure you have an unobstructed view of the horizon.”

While this is an exciting opportunity, Dr Bloomer encourages people to make a habit of gazing at the night sky.

“See how things change,” he said, adding that observing the heavens is “a chance to witness the ongoing mechanics of the solar system at work.”
