The planetary conjunction could be spotted by the naked eye on the east-southeast horizon before sunrise, just after 6am (GMT).

Those who missed the event will be able to see the two planets again on Tuesday morning, but they will not be as close together.
According to Nasa, stargazers will be treated to another planetary pairing later this month, when Saturn will meet Mercury on the western horizon at dusk on the 24th and 28th.
