Science is fun at the Oxford Science Café! Join us for an exciting presentation by  Purnima Narayan, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Mississippi.

The media has highlighted the upcoming planetary alignment in January and February 2025, but how rare is this event? And how practical is it to observe all the planets? (Spoiler: Some will be quite challenging to view.) This talk will explore the significance of this alignment, provide tips for viewing with the naked eye or binoculars. We will also demonstrate how to use a planetarium application and a solar system simulator to visualize the event from your location.
