Seven planets They agree in the night sky This week, he created a brief opportunity to see a “planetary procession”.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus can all be visible with a clear sky, but everything can be seen through the naked eye, according to Space.com And other sites that follow the heavenly events.
For the best opportunities, spectators should look at the sky with just sunset. This is when the planets show a brief look.
Any day is the best dependent on the site. Tokyo started seeing the show first, on February 22, according to Walking starApply the sky warning. Star Wook said that New York will get the best event on February 25. In other parts of the world, this phenomenon will be better in early March. Throughout the world, it will be the best day to see alignment is February 28.
How to watch the planet procession
Five planets visible to the naked eye, According to NasaMercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Star Walk said that Mars would appear red and height in the sky, near the Gemini constellation. Jupiter will be a little less in the sky, near Taurus. Venus will appear as a brightest planet in the sky, near the whale constellation.
Mercury will be in the constellation of the Aquarius, near the sun and above the western horizon. Star Walk said Saturn will also be near the sun and down the horizon, making it difficult to discover.

NASA said Uranus and Neptune would need a telescope. Star Wook said that Uranus will appear in the constellation of pregnancy, and will be Neptune in the whale.
The screen will only be visible for a few minutes after sunset, because the planets near the horizon – Saturn and Mercury – will create. Once they fall under the horizon, they will not be visible, but the other planets will remain in the sky of the night.
For the best offer, go to a site with minimal light pollution and a clear vision of the horizon. It will also be necessary a clear sky to see all the planets.
How does the planets align?
The planets revolve in the solar system of the sun, just as the Earth does. Each planet rotates at a different speed and a distance.
During this alignment, the planets seem to line up from the Earth’s perspective, creating the visual show, NASA said. In fact, the planets are very far from each other.
Planets also move very slowly, causing a multi -day schedule for planet marches.

When will the next planetary alignment be?
A selection of four or five planets occurs every few years, according to NASA. In late August 2025, four planets will be visible before sunrise, and in late October 2028, five planets will be visible at one time before sunrise. Another alignment of five plans will occur in late February 2034, with planets after sunset.
“In short, although they are not once in a lifetime, the planetary marches provide an unfamiliar opportunity to search for our place and appreciate our place in our solar system, with various worlds across the sky in front of our eyes,” NASA, “says on his website.
Outside the alignment of planets, it is possible to discover other planets individually. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn often in the night sky, according to NASA.
