Known as the "Parade of Planets," the celestial event will feature appearances from Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn through the end of January, according to Farmer's Almanac. Mercury will emerge in the night sky at the end of February, replacing Saturn.

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course.

Baker said that there are other astronomical events that may be more interesting than the parade of planets. Baker said Mars and Jupiter would be best to see through a telescope right now.

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

NASA discovers something on Neptune and Uranus: "There are more than 5000" The ice giants of the solar system have long been enigmas.

A rare planetary parade from January 21–29, 2025, aligns six planets visible to the naked eye in India. Stargazers can catch Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in a stunning celestial display.

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

HELENA — The planets are aligned. Six planets, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn can be seen in the night sky. You'll need binoculars or a telescope to see Neptune and Uranus but they're out there too.

Planetary Parade A rare alignment of Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune is visible this month and into early February. Peak viewing occurs on January 29, coinciding with the new moon for darker skies.

As the first month of the new year winds down, it’s a good time to take existing goals to the next level — or to chart a new course entirely. With Aquarius season now underway, you have the full power of the forward-thinking,
