For a few brief evenings around February 28, every planet in our solar system will be visible at once, with Mercury making a cameo in the planetary parade which is running all this month and next. You will be able to see seven planets in the sky,

Worlds will align for a "planetary parade" in January, with four bright and easily visible to the naked eye. But an even better view arrives in February and March. Here's what you need to know.

Stargazers will be treated to a dazzling six-planet "alignment" this January.

Astrophotographers will be able to capture Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune tonight. However, Mercury will join the parade later in February. Apart from this, earlier EarthSky astronomer John Goss revealed that Venus,

Within the first hour and a half hour after sunset, you can see four planets without a telescope. Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn will shine beautifully in the evening. While there are clear skies, take advantage of this beautiful view. You can also see the planets more vividly with a telescope or a sky app on your phone.

Planetary alignments aren't rare, but they can be when they involve six of the eight planets in our solar system.

Starting at 12:30 p.m. ET (1730 GMT) on Saturday (Jan. 25), astrophysicist Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project will stream live telescope views of all six of the planets in marching order. You can watch the livestream courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project directly on their website or YouTube channel.

In case anyone missed the January planetary alignment, two more are expected to be seen in the night sky in February, with one alignment featuring two more celestial bodies.

The alignment of six planets - Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - will be visible through to mid-February, with peak visibility around January 29, coinciding with the new moon.

Up to seven planets are set to align in the night sky over the UK in January and February - here's when and how to see the rare event.

It’s a phenomenon known as a “planet parade,” where the planets appear to be marching across the night sky. Stargazers will be able to see Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars with just the naked eye for the rest of this month. A telescope will be needed to spot Uranus and Neptune.

While planets circle the sun in what's called and heliocentric orbit, they rarely fall together in what appears to the human eye as somewhat of line across the visible horizon. Saturday is one of those times.
