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

Astrophotographers will be able to capture Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune tonight. However, Mercury will join the parade later in February. Apart from this, earlier EarthSky astronomer John Goss revealed that Venus,

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

Though such alignments aren't unheard of, this particular formation was special due to the sheer number of planets visible together.

Skywatchers, get ready for an unforgettable weeks-long celestial spectacle. This rare phenomenon, nicknamed the "Parade of Planets," offers a unique opportunity for viewers to observe multiple planets in the night sky.

Worlds will align for a "planetary parade" in January, with four bright and easily visible to the naked eye. But an even better view arrives in February and March. Here's what you need to know.

It’s a phenomenon known as a “planet parade,” where the planets appear to be marching across the night sky. Stargazers will be able to see Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars with just the naked eye for the rest of this month. A telescope will be needed to spot Uranus and Neptune.

Starting at 12:30 p.m. ET (1730 GMT) on Saturday (Jan. 25), astrophysicist Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project will stream live telescope views of all six of the planets in marching order. You can watch the livestream courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project directly on their website or YouTube channel.

FOUR planets are visible in the night sky. You will have to battle January clouds, but here is how to find them.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn will light up the night sky in a rare astronomical alignment known as a planetary parade Saturday night. This celestial phenomenon occurs when the planets align on the same side of the Sun,

In case anyone missed the January planetary alignment, two more are expected to be seen in the night sky in February, with one alignment featuring two more celestial bodies.

This year, a rare planetary parade will feature six planets aligning in a line, including Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune. While most are visible to the naked eye, Uranus and Neptune require a telescope.
