A historic photo captured a rare alignment of all the planets in our solar system during a 'planetary parade'. Photographer Josh Dury achieved this feat from Somerset's Mendips Hills, using advanced photography techniques and apps to stitch together nine images into a captivating panorama. The unique alignment features Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, marking a celestial event not observable from the UK until 2040. Experts mentioned that previous attempts at capturing all planets occurred before modern camera technology, making this photo unprecedented.
"The unusual celestial event is known as a 'planetary parade', with Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune aligning in the night sky."
"I used multiple image analysis and astronomy apps to confirm their location. As this was taken with a wide-angle lens, the nine images stitched to a panorama and a HDR blend of one of the frames to reveal Saturn, Neptune and Mercury."
