The two giant planets Jupiter and - Saturn are now visible in the late evening sky. Rocket probes are on their way to both, as the alignment of the outer planets between now and the early 1980s gives exceptional opportunities for interplanetary navigation. Patrick Moore and Dr Ron Maddison consider the significance of this planetary alignment and discuss suggestions that it may have an effect upon the Earth.
