NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Uranus. This was the first time any spacecraft had ever visited Uranus. Its twin spacecraft, Voyager 1, only made it as far as Saturn before veering out of the plane of the solar system.

Six planets are parading across the sky, appearing as some of the night's brightest stars. A few easy tips can help you identify them.

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.

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.

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.

On this date, Jan. 24, 1986, Voyager 2 began beaming images from Uranus, giving scientists unprecedented data and insights about the solar system’s seventh planet. Information from the probe showed scientists unusual properties about the planet including its unique tilt and faint rings.

Mars will be making its closest approach to Earth in two years, and thus, the mighty red planet, named for the god of war himself, will appear brighter, bigger, and bolder in the night sky. This Martian exclamation point will further amplify the experience of the alignment.

Six of our cosmic neighbors are expected to line up across the night sky tonight, in what has been dubbed a "planetary parade". Throughout much of January and February, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be visible splayed out in a long arc across the heavens, with Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn being visible to the naked eye.

Early 2025 is a good time for skygazing and spotting up to seven planets in the night sky – if you have a little help.

You're running out of time to see January's planetary conjunction. Head outside and look up so you don't miss this cosmic show.

Alignments of five or more planets are rare—there will be two more featuring five or more planets this year, but after that the next won’t happen until 2040.

A planet parade will be happening high above the earth. But there is a debate on whether it is as special as you may be seeing on social media.
