A planetary alignment, or a "planet parade" according to the internet, will grace our night sky just after dusk, according to NASA. We'll see six planets in the first part of February – Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn – and on Feb. 28, they'll be joined by Mercury.

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.

Heads up, skywatchers. February is here, with no shortage of celestial events to inspire awe. Venus is making her mark just in time for Valentine's Day as the brightest in the sky this year, taking the place of Saturn to continue the planetary alignment for this month.

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.

The number of planets that orbit the sun depends on what you mean by “planet,” and that’s not so easy to define

People in the northern hemisphere will be able to see Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars during the planetary parade. The next full moon will happen on Feb. 12. Known as the snow moon, it will hit its full phase at 7:53 a.m. CT.

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

Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn should be visible to the naked eye. The six planets will be visible until February 9. You'll need a high-powered viewing device like a telescope to spot Neptune and Uranus. Look toward the southeastern to southwestern sky.

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.
