Rare Planetary Alignment Visible Tonight Featuring Six Planets

Four planets can be seen with the naked eye shortly after sunset, while two require a telescope for observation.

  • The planetary alignment, known as a 'planet parade,' includes Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
  • Best viewing times are shortly after sunset, with Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn visible without equipment.
  • Uranus and Neptune require a telescope or strong binoculars for observation due to their faint visibility.
  • The alignment will remain visible for several weeks, offering multiple opportunities for observation until mid-February.
  • Astronomy enthusiasts can enhance their experience at observatories and planetariums, such as those in Berlin, which offer guided viewings and educational programs.
