Rare planetary conjunction: Five planets of solar system to be visible in special order from Friday

In a rare planetary conjunction, five major planets namely, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, in our solar system will be visible brightly in a row from Friday.

This conjunction is special as it includes Mercury, which is generally obscured from the view by the bright light of the Sun. Not just this, these planets will also be visible in the order in which they are positioned from the Sun.
