Rare planetary alignment graces Chilean skies

A rare celestial alignment was captured at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, where seven planets were visible in a small area of the sky.

According to Chilean astronomer Luis Chavarria Garrido, this event occurs once every 400 years. The planets appear in a straight line due to their orbital paths, though they are spread out in the solar system.

"The planets are positioned in what appears to be a straight line in the sky, but we must remember that the planets are not actually close to each other," said Chavarria Gardo.
