This phenomenon is called a planetary parade. While March 28 was the best day to view these planets, they will remain visible for the next two weeks. (Photo: Twitter/@themoonlovepic)

In this image, Mars can be seen just below the Moon. Venus is quite bright and low on the horizon. The planets were not close to each other in reality, but appeared so from the perspective of people on Earth. When planets orbit the same side of the Sun as the Earth, planetary alignment occurs.
