Though the planets are always “aligned,” seeing more than four in the sky is more uncommon. February’s lineup is a chance to glimpse all seven in one sweeping view.

Stargazers hoping to view a rare celestial phenomenon that is lighting up the night sky have one month left. Six of the planets in our solar system are currently lining up in an event known as a planetary parade.

There is an extraordinary celestial event taking place in 2025 – a planetary parade – in January and February. Six planets of our solar system – Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus – will appear to be aligned in a line looking like they are marching in a formation similar to a soldiers’ formation. This event doesn't happen every year.

An extraordinary astronomical phenomenon will illuminate the sky as stargazers are urged to look up to catch a glimpse of the event.

A stunning planetary parade is currently marching across our night skies - but exactly how and when should we look for the rare phenomenon? There will be six planets in the skies above Yorkshire and the rest of the UK tonight,

Because planets always appear in a line, the alignment isn't anything out of the norm. What's less common is seeing so many bright planets at once.

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

A rare celestial event, where six planets will align in the night sky and be seen with the naked eye, will unfold in the next few days.

The Planetary Parade happens when three or more planets align in the night sky, appearing close together from Earth's perspective.
