Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn shine bright in a rare planetary parade; Uranus and Neptune need a telescope to spot.

Beginning January 21, stargazers will have the chance to marvel at a rare celestial event as six planets—Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—line up in the night sky.

The event, often called a “planetary parade,” will allow stargazers to spot Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune will need a telescope. The best time to view this spectacle is just after sunset, and it will remain visible until the end of February.

By late February, Mercury will briefly join the lineup, making it possible to observe seven planets at once. However, catching all seven together will be tricky, as Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune will hover near the horizon at sunset.

To enhance the experience, astronomers recommend heading to dark, cloud-free locations far from city lights.

Jennifer Millard, an astronomy expert, described the sight as truly remarkable. “The light you see has traveled millions or even billions of miles to reach your eyes,” she said.

This planetary alignment provides stargazers with a rare chance to connect with the vastness of the cosmos. However, by early March, Venus, Saturn, and Neptune are expected to vanish from the night sky, making this a fleeting yet unforgettable celestial event.
