Alignment of five planets.

On 28 Mar, five planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus will be aligned in an arc form along with the moon after sunset, constituting a rare astronomical event. The planetary alignment is exceptionally unusual since it contains Uranus, one of the hardest planets to spot from Earth. Observers can witness the celestial display with naked eyes a few days before and after the event.

The planetary alignment usually happens when some planets get close to each other on one side of the sun at a particular time. Alignments comprised of the same planets are considered rare in comparison to just any planetary conjunction.

Tailpiece.

Got up at a half past 4, to go round the corner and sleep just did not fetch up. The chores and was ready by a half past 7. Vishnu, the sa'arthi was erratic and so, we finally, left by a half past 8. Picked up Rema and Padmakumar from Pidavoor and we were off to Tvpm.

Breakfast was at the Vazhiyorakkada' short of Kilimanoor and we reached Mini's house at Vanchiyoor by a half past 10, with Kannan briefing us on the route. Offered our condolences to Mini's mom and younger brother. 

On our return, picked up Rema's medicines and lunch was at the Padma cafe at Kottarakkara. Dropped Rema and Padmakumar at Pidavoor and reached home by a quarter to 3.

Siesta followed by a quiet evening.
