What's truly unique is seeing four or five bright planets at once, which doesn't happen annually. During the planet parade, six planets will align with four of them being easily visible to the naked eye.

A rare parade of planets will light up the night sky throughout January. Six planets will be in alignment for the rest of the month – four of which will be visible with the naked eye, Preston Dyches, public engagement specialist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and host of NASA's "What's Up" skywatching series, told ABC News.
