SAEDNEWS: In January 2025, several planets—including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—will line up in the sky, creating a rare “planetary parade” for skywatchers to enjoy.
According to the Science Desk of Saed News, a planetary parade will take place in January 2025, during which six planets will be visible in the night sky, with a seventh joining the lineup later. A planetary parade, also known as a planetary alignment, occurs when several planets are visible simultaneously in the night sky.
These planets will be observable from January 21, 2025, for about four weeks. The best time to view them is around 8:30 p.m. local time, shortly after sunset. The planets on display will include Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen with the naked eye, while a telescope will be required to spot Neptune and Uranus. Mercury is also expected to join the lineup soon, temporarily creating a rare seven-planet alignment.
