Seven Planets Align in Rare Celestial Display

On February 28, a rare "planetary parade" occurred, aligning seven planets of the Solar System. This event, where Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were simultaneously visible after sunset, will not repeat until 2040. The planets appeared in the sky in the following order: Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars. For optimal viewing, observers needed to find locations away from city lights and with clear skies.
