Stargazers in the United States are in for a rare treat as seven planets—Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, and Saturn—align in a planetary parade. This celestial event, visible shortly after sunset, offers a unique opportunity to witness this cosmic spectacle. Four planets—Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars—will be visible to the naked eye. Saturn may be challenging to spot near the horizon. Telescopes or binoculars are needed for Uranus and Neptune. Astronomers recommend finding a location with minimal light pollution and a clear horizon for optimal viewing. This alignment is a reminder of the vastness and beauty of our solar system.
