'Planet parade' 2025: See the ultra-rare planetary alignment peak this week, before Saturn gets swallowed by the sunset
A stunning "parade of planets" will grace the night sky this week, with all seven of Earth's celestial neighbors joining the show. Here's how to spot it and why it happens.
Seven planets in the solar system — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — will line up in the night sky Friday (Feb. 28) in an incredibly rare "planetary parade."
Although most of these planets have been visible in the night sky since January, Mercury will be joining the procession for just a few days, before Saturn gets lost in the sunset's glare in early March.
Five of these worlds will be easily visible to the unaided eye, but you will need a good telescope to see the full show, according to NASA.
Of course, then you have.....Doom!
I swear, this is why you can't have nice things.
Sigh, here's some music.
