A handful of planets in the solar system are expected to line up in the night sky for a few days in January 2025. Here's when to look up at the stars.

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

A spectacular celestial event will unfold as six planets align in what astronomers call a planetary parade, offering skygazers a rare opportunity

Skywatchers: A six-planet alignment peaks this week as Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn come together for view shortly after sunset in the sky.

A parade of planets will be visible to skywatchers around the globe through the rest of this month and into February.

Stargazers will be treated to a rare seven-planet alignment in February. This is what scientists hope to learn.

The seven planets will not be perfectly aligned, but will appear in an arc across the sky due to their orbital plane in the Solar System.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align in a line in the sky. Although most of these planets will be visible to the naked eye, some require binoculars for observation. A planetary parade is a phenomenon that occasionally appears in the night sky when the planets of the Solar System form an apparent line in the sky.

A rare celestial phenomenon is about to light up the heavens, offering skywatchers a chance to marvel at the dynamic beauty of our Solar System. This February, a "Parade of Planets" will see all seven of Earth’s planetary neighbors align in a dazzling display.
