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.

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

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.
