A Rare Alignment of 7 Planets Is About to Take Place in The Sky

On the evening of 28 February 2025, all seven of the other planets in the Solar System will appear in the night sky at the same time, with Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars all lining up in a neat row – a magnificent sky feast for the eyes known as a great planetary alignment.



But that's not all. Between now and then, on 21 January 2025, six of the seven other planets will appear in the sky at once in a large alignment – Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn, with the exception of Mercury.



Time and Date has an interactive tool that allows you to set the date you want to view, showing the rise and set times for each planet, where in the sky they can be seen, and how difficult they will be to see. (Several other sites listed.)

You will need some binoculars or a telescope to see the planets in all their glory, so if you haven't already, start planning now. And keep your fingers crossed for clear skies.

Enjoy!

The Mrs and I will be there in late Feb, so we will get to see this in the clear summer skies of our southern hemisphere.

and let me say this. After you locate them, don't forget to look DOWN at your feet. Yes EARTH!

There is speculation that our sun may very well have a burnt out companion star with as many as 4 more planets!
