A planetary parade can be seen in the UK tonight as part of a rare event that won't be repeated for 400 years.

January and February will feature two remarkable planetary alignments, one of which will give stargazers the opportunity to witness a celestial spectacle that will not be repeated for another 400 years.

On Friday, January 24 and Saturday, January 25, six planets will line up in the night sky in an event some astronomers call a planetary parade.

The planets will be together in the night sky for the rest of January and February, and weather conditions in the UK this weekend look favorable for some decent sightings.

This is the biggest storm we've ever experienced.

Johanna Krijnsen, 34, from Co Clare, Ireland, said part of her roof was blown off by Storm Eowyn.

This was truly the biggest storm we have ever experienced here in Ireland, said the mother of four from Utrecht, Netherlands. About 10 trees on their land were torn down and they were still without power, she said.

We were on the West Coast, about 20 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. I think we got the full feel of it.

Ms. Krinsen and her husband have an 8-year-old daughter with Down syndrome and a 5-year-old son with nonverbal autism.

Our son is so used to his routine that he is not there now, Ms Krijnsen said. So that's what hits him the hardest emotionally.
