and I'm Ayshah with your news first on Newsround.

:00:00.:00:00.

A rare sight in the night sky as five planets align.

:00:07.:00:11.

And is this a kite surfing world record?

:00:12.:00:23.

First, imagine finding out you've got the skeleton of a pirate

:00:24.:00:25.

That's what happened to kids in Edinburgh.

:00:26.:00:35.

I've come to this school in Edinburgh because experts believe

:00:36.:00:39.

they could have discovered the remains of a pirate

:00:40.:00:41.

But, Martin, how could a pirate be found underneath the playground?

:00:42.:00:48.

The remains date to about the 16th century.

:00:49.:00:55.

It is of a port next to the seaside, the actual site was on the beach.

:00:56.:01:01.

But unfortunately we do not have an eye patch or it

:01:02.:01:05.

It is putting the evidence together like a detective story and getting

:01:06.:01:11.

the clues together to see how he died, or what he was.

:01:12.:01:13.

He seemed to have had a hard-working life.

:01:14.:01:25.

He had a broken arm when he was younger.

:01:26.:01:27.

So what do the pupils think about the

:01:28.:01:30.

I immediately thought Captain Jack Sparrow,

:01:31.:01:33.

with a big sword and hat and big feather.

:01:34.:01:35.

our teacher was recommending a story of pirates.

:01:36.:01:43.

It just feels amazing and interesting.

:01:44.:01:45.

When you get told there are bones in your playground,

:01:46.:01:50.

the first thing that comes to your mind is not a pirate.

:01:51.:01:55.

The thing I don't like about the bones is because we have bones

:01:56.:01:58.

in the playground and it is quite freaky.

:01:59.:02:01.

It might be freaky to some, but others see the funny side.

:02:02.:02:04.

If you look up into the night sky this week you could see

:02:05.:02:16.

Five planets which have all moved into one line,

:02:17.:02:20.

Professor Tim O'Brien from the University of Manchester

:02:21.:02:24.

Can you tell us which planets? It is the five big planet 's closest to

:02:25.:02:43.

the Sun we see shining like Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus and the planet

:02:44.:02:47.

Mercury. You can look up into the sky and they are there? That is the

:02:48.:02:53.

great thing, you do not need a telescope or binoculars, they shine

:02:54.:02:57.

from the reflect the delight of the Sun and so they aren't like bright

:02:58.:03:06.

stars. Mercury, spread to the south to Jupiter. How do you tell the

:03:07.:03:10.

difference if it is a star or planet? You need skill to do that.

:03:11.:03:16.

Some of the brightest things in the sky are planets. If you see a bright

:03:17.:03:24.

looking star it is probably Venus. Mars is the red planet. When do you

:03:25.:03:29.

need to look at this? Unfortunately, you have to be up before it is

:03:30.:03:36.

bright. Up to 7am. 7am, just before, is the best. Why is this happening

:03:37.:03:43.

at the moment? All of the planets are going around the sun and where

:03:44.:03:48.

we are in our orbit, we are looking out with these planets on the same

:03:49.:03:53.

side of the sun. As the sun rises, the planets come up before it in the

:03:54.:03:58.

sky and they are on the same side of the sun and so they are easy to see.

:03:59.:04:03.

It is rare, when will it happen next? It is ten years since the last

:04:04.:04:07.

time we had all five together and it is that timescale. Several years.

:04:08.:04:14.

Take your opportunity now, you probably have a few weeks until they

:04:15.:04:16.

move around. Thanks. Andy Murray has been beaten

:04:17.:04:22.

in straight sets by the world number one Novak Djokovic in the final

:04:23.:04:24.

of the Australian Open. It's Djokovic's sixth win

:04:25.:04:27.

in Melbourne but for Murray it means he's now lost all five

:04:28.:04:30.

Australian Open finals he has played, four of them

:04:31.:04:32.

against Djokovic. He had a message for his wife back

:04:33.:04:41.

home, who is expecting their first baby.

:04:42.:04:43.

She is going to be watching this now.

:04:44.:04:51.

You have been legend the last two weeks.

:04:52.:04:53.

Thank you so much for all of your support and I will be

:04:54.:04:56.

:05:10.:05:11.

Today, teams across the Premier League and Football League have just

:05:12.:05:18.

hours to buy, sell and loan players as the January transfer window

:05:19.:05:21.

Premier League spending in a single season could break ?1 billion

:05:22.:05:26.

Yesterday, Newcastle United made a ?21 million bid

:05:27.:05:32.

for West Brom striker Saido Berahino, who had a move

:05:33.:05:35.

to Tottenham blocked three times last summer.

:05:36.:05:38.

Hundreds of kite surfers gathered in South Africa this weekend

:05:39.:05:41.

to break the world record for the highest number of people

:05:42.:05:43.

kite surfing at the same time within one mile.

:05:44.:05:47.

With more than 400 participants, they appear to have easily beaten

:05:48.:05:58.
