The conjunction will last until Monday and won't be seen again until 2040.

Five major planets in our solar system will shine brightly in a row during a rare planetary conjunction from Friday.

It's a special opportunity to see Mercury, which is usually obscured from view by the Sun's bright light. It is also a special event because the planets will appear in the order they are positioned from the sun.
