Overview

• A rare planetary parade will occur in February, allowing all eight planets to be visible in the sky simultaneously, including Earth underfoot.
• Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune require a telescope for viewing.
• The best time to observe the alignment is around 45 minutes after sunset in areas with minimal light pollution.
• Mercury will join the alignment later in February, completing the lineup and marking the event as a 'great alignment.'
• Astronomy enthusiasts are organizing events and using stargazing apps to guide observers in identifying planets during the phenomenon.
