NORFOLK, Va. — If you love stargazing, you'll have the chance to take in a rare sight later this month.

Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars will align on March 28. Jupiter and Mars will be in the constellation Pisces. Venus will be above them in the Aries constellation. Mars will be a little higher in the sky in Gemini.

If you want to see Uranus, you'll need a strong pair of binoculars.

The alignment will be visible a couple of days before and after March 28.
