Plot conspiracy theories: 5 planets will be aligned for 1 month!

Have you noticed that it is enough for the announcement of some unusual cosmic event - such as an unusual eclipse or the passing of a comet near Earth, for example - to start popping conspiracy theories about the apocalypse or the imminent attack of alien civilizations? to our planet?

For this week it was announced that for the first time in over ten years, the solar system will be the scene of a planetary alignment involving Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn - and the cool thing is that the event can be seen with the naked eye. for 1 whole month! So, do you doubt that crazy theories related to this heavenly spectacle will emerge?

Planetary line

From today, January 20th, until February 20th, the five planets will be visible in the sky forming a line. In fact, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have been in line since the beginning of the year, and now it's time for Mercury to step in to complete the team.

For alignment, look for an open place away from light sources and buildings and identify the planets just before dawn - 45 minutes in advance is enough! They will form a line from the horizon to the moon, and Jupiter and Venus, being the brightest, will also be the easiest to see in the sky.

Jupiter lies further north of the line, followed by Mars, which can be quickly identified by its reddish glow. After him, we have Saturn and the brilliant Venus, and Mercury, as it will be closest to the horizon and is the most "dim" of the group, will be the hardest to see.

However, as the days go by, Mercury will begin to appear higher and higher in the sky, and by early February it will be very close to Venus, which should make it easier to identify.

But how?

In fact, alignment has nothing to do with any mind-boggling prophecy, cataclysmic prediction or the like. This is because the planets, although they are on the same plane, have annual cycles, which means that occasionally they are apparently in a row.

Anyway, we here at Mega Curioso will keep an eye out for any interesting conspiracy theories related to planetary alignment, so we tell you everything! By the way, if you already know of any, send it to us!
