A planetary alignment, or a "planet parade" according to the internet, will grace our night sky just after dusk, according to NASA. We'll see six planets in the first part of February – Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn – and on Feb. 28, they'll be joined by Mercury.

Stargazers hoping to view a rare celestial phenomenon that is lighting up the night sky have one month left. Six of the planets in our solar system are currently lining up in an event known as a planetary parade.

Planetary parade’ visible in UK tonight as part of rare event that won’t repeat for 400 years - Celestial spectacle will not be repeated for another 400 years

Four planets will be in the parade in January, while seven will align in February. Here's how to see the events.

An extraordinary astronomical phenomenon will illuminate the sky as stargazers are urged to look up to catch a glimpse of the event.

The best time to see this row of planets is on Friday evening (January 31) at 6.45pm UK time, according to Starwatch. If stargazers join up Venus, Jupiter and Saturn and Mars with an imaginary line in the sky, this will reveal the ecliptic path that the Sun, Moon and planets all follow.

A rare alignment of six planets will spoil astronomers and astrology fans alike. The spiritual blessings of such an alignment promise favor, luck, or expansion for each zodiac sign. On January 21, 2025, six planets in our solar system will align in the night skies.

On Monday, March 27, 2023, scientists said the Webb Space Telescope has found no evidence of an atmosphere at this innermost of the seven rocky, Earth-sized planets orbiting the nearby star, named Trappist.
