Look up later this month, and you might be in for an out-of-this world sight — no telescope required.

Five planets — Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars — will be visible across the night sky for many viewers on Earth around March 27 and 28.

The celestial bodies will appear in a strip of sky beside the waxing crescent moon, but experts say what you’ll see will depend largely on where you are.
