Rare Seven-Planet Alignment Peaks Tonight in the Night Sky

This celestial event, featuring Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, offers a unique viewing opportunity not seen since 2022.

The planetary alignment will be visible just after sunset tonight, with optimal viewing conditions under dark skies away from light pollution.
Four planets—Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury—can be seen with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune require a telescope or binoculars for visibility.
Saturn will be the most challenging to spot due to its proximity to the Sun and may only be visible briefly under specific conditions.
This alignment coincides with the new moon, providing darker skies that enhance the visibility of the planets, even in light-polluted areas.
The next seven-planet alignment will not occur until late 2028, making tonight a rare chance to witness this phenomenon.
