Stargazers will be treated to a dazzling six-planet "alignment" this January.

Planetary alignments aren't rare, but they can be when they involve six of the eight planets in our solar system.

Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Venus will put on a show after sunset. Planet alignments like this aren’t rare, but they also don’t come around every year. The best part of this planetary alignment will be how they lineup along the horizon.
