On 28 February 2026, the evening sky is expected to offer a rare planetary lineup along the Sun’s path.

It isn’t something you see often.
Several planets appearing along the same arc of sky only happens occasionally, and when it does, it turns an ordinary sunset into something memorable.

Just after dusk, bright Venus should be the first to catch your eye.
Jupiter follows, large and steady.
Lower on the horizon, Mercury and Saturn sit closer to the fading glow.
Farther out, Uranus and Neptune linger faintly, needing optics and patience.

Look west to southwest about half an hour after sunset.
Start with the brightest planet and trace the same line across the sky.
A clear horizon and darker surroundings make all the difference.

Run Fact: Astronomers refer to these groupings as planetary alignments because the planets appear close together along the ecliptic, the plane of our solar system.

Moments like this don’t last long.
Miss one evening, and the sky quietly rearranges itself again.

Uber quietly agrees to external review after woman sues over guide dog refusals. ABC

Uber has agreed to an external review of its operations after settling a Federal Court case brought by a woman refused more than 30 rides while travelling with a guide dog.

The woman and her legal team want Uber to use the review as an opportunity to fix a problem they say has become "endemic".

The external review will be chaired by a person with disability and its outcome, including an evaluation of how Uber implements the changes, will not be released until 2028.

ID: A person stands outdoors holding a smartphone, with a guide dog wearing a harness sitting calmly at their side. They’re in front of a building, with trees and a large rock behind them, in a shaded, leafy area.
