This Month, a Parade of Six Planets Will Be Visible

This month, it is possible to observe the simultaneous presence of six planets in the sky, known as a planetary parade. This is the last such phenomenon of the year.

Planetary parades occur when several planets align in the sky, appearing in a straight line. They are quite a common occurrence and happen almost every year, depending on the number of visible planets.

According to NASA, it is possible to see at least one bright planet almost every night, depending on weather conditions. In January, six planets were visible, and in February, it was possible to spot all the planets in the Solar System, although not all could be seen with the naked eye.

During this month, without any special equipment, one can observe Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and the faintly visible Mercury. The best time for viewing is in the coming week. Uranus and Neptune, however, will only be seen with a telescope or binoculars.
