Stargazers across Wales were able to witness Venus, Jupiter and the Moon aligned in the night sky on Thursday.

The brightest planets in the night sky were visible during a spectacular celestial event known as a conjunction.

According to the UK Space Agency, the two planets reach their apparent closest point at the start of March when they'll appear to form one point.

Take a look at a selection of the best images as people across Wales looked to the skies.
